Technology that Automates Processes and Reduces Hands-on Time

Data for clinical studies is not always captured digitally. Some sponsors use multiple vendors to collect all the needed information. Application programming interface (API) services within IBM Clinical Development (ICD) enable data to be added to the study’s EDC without performing data entry. This data can include central lab results that can be provided electronically. Such information is then imported into the system and integrated with existing study data.

The downside of API services is that they typically require a level of programming. Datapharm’s data management team can use ICD’s data migrator tool to address this issue. This resource provides the tools to map, filter, format, test, schedule and monitor import jobs through an intuitive point-and-click interface. The interface greatly reduces time and handoffs when adding data to one-time or recurring imports. A variety of system integrations—from lab imports, endpoint adjudication and medical coding management to rescue studies— can benefit daily from the data migrator tool.
