PPD Vestrum Health Real-World Data

Advancing your research with insightful, patient-level clinical retina data 

Electronic health records (EHRs) provide a wealth of real-world patient data that are extremely useful in the research and development of medical interventions. Compared with alternative data sources and study approaches, such as cohort studies or randomized controlled trials, the use of routinely collected data offers several advantages, including lower administrative efforts and costs, reduced sample size bias due to larger sample sizes, and the benefit of revising analyses over time as new data become available. 

There are, however, methodological challenges associated with the use of EHR for research analyses, due to a lack of outcomes and biomarker data in standard EHR data. Advance your research and gain confidence in the results by engaging a partner who has in-depth data expertise and is well-versed in EHR evaluation and use.

Clinical trial recruitment acceleration program 

Efficiently identifying patients for clinical trials enables you to reduce recruitment times. Our relationship with our panel of health care professionals allows us to analyze their data and identify patients who meet study criteria. Our HIPAA-compliant process allows retina practices to re-identify these patients, and clinical trial staff can contact identified patients for further assessment and enrollment when candidates fit the trial criteria.

Our in-house team of retina specialists, real-world data and proprietary algorithms complement our HCP panel relationship, allowing clients to accelerate enrollment and quickly identify patients who meet study criteria.

With higher levels of patient enrollment, your studies will meet enrollment targets more quickly, and participating retina practices receive the benefit of reduced costs, increased trial revenue and enhanced trial capacity.

The clinical trial recruitment acceleration program is a service for industry-sponsored trials that is available to practices in our retina data panel. In it, our practices can:

  • Quantify patient recruitment estimates for contract negotiations
  • Accelerate the patient recruitment process
  • Replace the need for manual file searches, improving efficiency
  • Hit trial completion deadlines with faster recruitment
  • Become a preferred practice-site for trial sponsors
  • Measure the efficiency of your clinical trial process

I am a big supporter of the retina data team and the value they bring to my clinical studies. Setting expectations and living up to them is one of the most important aspects of running a trial. The trending reports they provide help with accurate forecasting of timelines and the recruitment acceleration program ensures we are setting sites up with every advantage to meet or exceed enrollment goals.
