The Drawbacks Of Working With Siloed Data For Medical Monitors

By Karen Skuba and Donna Lacroix

In an increasingly outsourced world, clinical trial sponsors are relinquishing control of their clinical trial participant data to third parties in order to free up their teams to focus on the critical tasks in front of them. Seeing as the amount of clinical data used per trial has increased by 183% in the last 10 years, organizations are turning to CROs and their vendors to handle this massive influx of data. But with more CROs handling your data comes greater challenges surrounding how you access, analyze, and report on that data holistically.

Needless to say, the proliferation of clinical trial data and the reliance on outsourced vendors have made clinical trial management wildly complex.

Let’s take a closer look at some of the drawbacks medical monitors can experience when working with siloed data from multiple sources and vendors. After reading, you’ll not only understand the consequences of failing to centralize and consolidate disparate data sources, but you’ll know how to break down data silos for peak clinical trial efficiency.
