Case Study: Transforming Clinical Data Management from Legacy Processes to a Modern EDC Approach

In 2017, Smith & Nephew’s data collection and management processes were in need of an upgrade. Smith & Nephew had reached an inflection point with their legacy approach to data management. It was decided that they would move away from a hybrid paper/electronic data capture (EDC) model to a modern EDC approach. Migrating from largely paper-based processes to one of the leading data capture systems provided a host of challenges for Smith & Nephew’s study management teams.

The project scope meant that culture shock would be inevitable since the underlying processes needed to be re-architected, and new technology would need to be implemented. Smith & Nephew searched for a domain expert to help them with this task, and Quartesian was the right match.

Join this webinar to learn about how Quartesian’s flexible global footprint was able to provide Smith & Nephew with the expertise, innovation and efficiency they required to maintain success. The featured speakers will present a case study on how Smith & Nephew was able to bridge the gap between previous processes and a modern digital environment. Quartesian’s data management team helped pave the way for development of global EDC library standards and updated processes that provided Smith & Nephew with greater efficiency throughout the data capture life cycle.
