The amount of electronic information—such as patient and lab data, images, statistical programs, plans, supporting documents, etc.—generated to bring a new drug or device to market continues to grow. The processes for storing, integrating and controlling this information from multiple collaborators and partners are complex and maintaining complete traceability between the continual flow of new information and the analysis results is very difficult. Optimizing and harmonizing these process workflows can improve operational efficiency and help life sciences companies more effectively meet regularly requirements.

By providing an environment to store and integrate all clinical data and information in one central place as well as providing a controlled solution to automate and manage statistical analysis, reporting and submission, the Phase Forward™ Clinical Development Center (CDC) can help reduce this complexity and streamline workflows. There are two components to the Phase Forward CDC:

Clinical Data Repository
A secure and managed environment for receiving, integrating, transforming and storing clinical data, information and standards.

Statistical Control Environment
A controlled solution to automate and track the statistical analysis process, providing end-­to-­end traceability of data, analysis and reports.
