Our approach to data management is based on traditional
methods developed over many years, standardized to take maximum
advantage of new developments in technology to permit scalability,
while maintaining transparency. From establishing the study database
to the initiation of automated or manual data entry, the primary
goal of our data management program is to facilitate analysis while
identifying and correcting potential errors that stem from protocol
issues or related features of a given study. Analyzing and reporting
descriptive statistics on an ongoing basis, documenting and recording
all changes in the raw database on a fixed schedule prior to lock,
regular and “ultra-redundant” back-ups, archiving and
storing the original data in multiple formats and locations both
on and offline, and handchecking the final database are some of
the many steps our data management team takes to ensure that the
results of our work and the efforts of our clients and partners
are accurate and meaningful.
