The landscape of RWD can be difficult to navigate.
Real world data mapping provides a tool to systematically identify and evaluate RWD sources.
Real-world data (RWD) increasingly inform drug development, health technology assessment, and drug regulation (peri- and post-approval). They refine clinical guidelines by characterizing a product’s clinical outcomes in more diverse, real-world patient populations. RWD includes data from a variety of sources, including national and regional registries, electronic medical records, claims databases, health surveys, and clinical databases. The growth and heterogeneity of available RWD sources has created a data landscape that is increasingly difficult to navigate. These days, identifying data sources to help answer strategic or study objectives is rarely an obvious choice.
Data source mapping provides a tool to systematically identify and evaluate RWD sources. This is a flexible methodology that can be customized to meet company needs, whether to locate data sources to answer a specific study question or to get a larger overview of RWD sources for an indication of interest. Electronic tools help with navigation through an increasingly complex universe of data sources.
Join us to get an overview of data source mapping methodology and how it can be leveraged to uncover and navigate RWD. In this webinar we will:
- Describe what a data source mapping is and where it can be useful
- Outline the components of a data source mapping and how these can be tailored to meet company objectives
