Clinical Decision Making

  • How do we (doctor?) decide what treatment to give to a patient?
  • How do we know if those treatments are safe?

Real-World Data

  • Real-World Data are the data relating to patient health status and/or the delivery of health care routinely collected from a variety of sources.

  • Sources

    • Electronic Health Records (EHRs)
    • Claims and billing data
    • Patient-generated data (including wearables)
    • Product and Patient registries

Real-World Evidence

  • RWE is the clinical evidence regarding the usage and potential benefits, or risks of a medical product derived from analysis of real-world data (RWD).

  • RWE can be generated by different study designs or analyses, including but not limited to, randomized trials, including large simple trials, pragmatic trials, and observational studies (prospective and/or retrospective).
