Clinical data management software is now as integral to the medical facility and laboratory as lab coats and test tubes, explains Frank Millard
ata is key to clinical results, assessments and records as well as general the administration of the laboratory. Te coding and
verifying of medical records, research data and drug testing is an intensive process dependent on strict accuracy and easy access to large amounts of data, which is constantly being updated. Software has all but rendered the manual input of data in laboratories obsolete. For example, data gathered in clinical trials can be stored in a data management system, mitigating against human error and improving efficiency and levels of accuracy critical to a laboratory environment. Te evolving industrial internet of things (IIoT) means systems can be used side by side and communicate with each other. However, laboratories that have evolved piecemeal often still include a mixture of different systems and even manual element. Digital solutions are helping everyone in the life sciences improve efficiency by providing the ability to go paperless,

says Patricia Santos-Serrao, director of product strategy (clinical and regulatory) at MasterControl. “Quality management, data capture and other processes that used to be slow and error-prone have been dramatically accelerated by freeing them from their reliance on manual, paper- based processes.”
Real-world laboratories face a growing amount of data originating from multiple instruments and equipment. “When in the past results were often manually reported, the amount of data is not compatible anymore with such practices,” says Dr Pierre Rodrigues, founder and general manager at Agilebio. “Te stack
