Dear Colleagues,

The sixth edition of the SCDM India Annual Conference has been scheduled on 4th and 5th of December 2020 and this year it’s virtual. We are excited to present a theme that creates yet another enticing opportunity for us to come together, learn and share advances in field of Clinical Data Management. Enabling us as industry professionals to take our commitment to next level.

Evolution of Clinical Data Science - Data | Technology | Analytics

Life Sciences industry similar to other industries has undergone tectonic shift. Pressure to advance, innovate medicines, get differentiated value to patients, providers, and payers is paramount. Optimize R&D costs, speed up time to market, maximize return on investment has constantly being on radar. Goal of ‘Unified Data Science’, Innovative R&D model, adoption of digital technologies has been a boon. Enriching People, Process Technology including Digitization has transformed activities which drive – Data Stewardship, Data Analytics and Data Science as centre stage as quintessential elements and attributes.

Data: Data is pivotal, data-driven approach sets organisations to ensure having right oversight and accountability across data management life cycle. In new normal world, with ever-increasing expectation, companies need to ensure quality by design by encapsulating metadata and data standards around data integrity, quality and security.

Technology: Technological evolution eDC, eSource, EMR/EHR and various technology levers has set an ultimate goal to ensure data collected meets integrity and reliability where quality as given. This not only allows direct data capture in real time during the patient visit, but reduces the need for data to be transferred from one system or report to another.

Analytics: Analytics traditionally, measured as distinct entities and was managed as outcome. Fusion of data and analytics with increased interaction and collaboration between desperate data its sources influences capabilities of analytics. Spectrum of roles are evolving from data manager to data scientist. Empowering data and analytics ecosystems with an augmented approach to potentially deliver coherent stacks.

Evolution of Data Science and its relevance is imperative to focus on upskilling CDM professionals to get prepared for changing requirements of the new normal!

The SCDM India Virtual Annual Conference on 4th and 5th Dec 2020 provides a platform to get these attributes together and gives everyone a flavour of ‘Evolution of Data Science’ and opportunity to come forward, participate, present and contribute!
