Today, women make up approximately 49 percent of participants involved in medical research trials — a number that legally wasn’t required to exist in the United States before 1993.

It wasn’t until the early 90’s that Congress decided to mandate the inclusion of women in research sponsored by the National Institute of Health (NIH).

🔹The healthcare data value chain is a concept not far removed from standard data value chains.

You know, the ones that provide value from your data from inception through integration to use (especially analytics), and everything in between?

Healthcare professionals have a particularly daunting data task because health data has so many points of data inception and integration.

We need to take our entire customer (patient or member) journey into account, with all of its data points.

When implementing the healthcare data value chain, you can start using the business value that comes from it, no matter where you are in the process.
And as you move towards methods that keep your information fresh and accurate, this data can provide value to your efforts to assure high-quality, reasonable-cost outcomes in your healthcare organization.

"Life's most persistent and urgent question is, 'What are you doing for others?'"

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. said this to an audience in Montgomery, Alabama in 1957 – and it still rings true today and every day.

So, what are you doing for others? How do you give back to your community?

An adaptive design is defined as a design that allows modifications to the trial and/or statistical procedures of the trial after its initiation without undermining its validity and integrity.

The purpose is to make clinical trials more flexible, efficient, and fast. Due to the level of flexibility involved, these trial designs are also termed “flexible designs.”
