Extended Real-World Data: The Life Science Industry’s Number One Asset
The life science industry has historically relied on sanitized clinical trials and commoditized data sources (largely claims) to inform its drug development process—an under-substantiated approach that didn’t reflect how a new drug would affect broader patient populations. In an effort to gain more accurate insight into the patient experience and bring drugs to market more efficiently and safely, the industry is now expanding into extended real-world data (RWD).
To access the needed breadth and depth of patient-centric data, life science companies must partner with a healthcare transformation company that has three key qualities:
- A broad and deep data asset.
- Extensive provider partnerships.
- An outcomes-improvement engine to support the next generation of drug development.
