EDC Connections

Hello again to all of our faithful blog readers! Dan and I are sorry we have not been active bloggers for a while-we have been crazy busy with upgrades and enhancements to ViewPoint FUSE.

Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season!

Dawn and Dan are here to blog again! We just finished a great Webinar series with SCDM that focused on trends for EDC today and into the future. One of the most interesting parts of the Webinar (to both speak and write about) was the use of reports to monitor clinical data.

Using EDC not only lets you see the data a lot quicker (and cleaner) than paper studies ever did, but it also enables you to use real time tools to understand and “data mine” in near real time.

In deciding what to have as my next blog topic I was torn between the mega-merger news within the Pharma industry or the appointments at the top of the HHS/FDA hierarchy. I couldn’t decide between the two so I am blogging on both.

I always seem to start off my blogs the way I do my annual Holiday letter, with an apology…sorry I haven’t written or called or had any normal human communication with you, my family and friends. Then I go on to explain why normal human communication has escaped me. Since I don’t really see “blogging” as normal human communication (again showing my age), I will dispense with the apologies and go on to tell you about what I learned during my incredibly hectic 4th Quarter of 2008. These are the real reasons I had no normal human communication during that time.
