The Clinical Data Interchange Standards Consortium welcomes Lifebit as a partner
What is the Clinical Data Interchange Standards Consortium?
The Clinical Data Interchange Standards Consortium (CDISC) is a global, not-for-profit organisation that develops data standards across all the healthcare sector. Founded in 1997, over the last 20+ years CDISC has provided guidance on the transformation of clinical data from incompatible into interoperable formats so that it is usable, regardless of where or when the data originated.
The CDISC mission is to ensure that valuable clinical data collected within the private and public sectors can achieve its full impact; it must be accessible, interoperable and reusable so that the entirety of the clinical research field can harness the potential of this data. By adhering to CDISC standards, data scientists avoid spending countless hours cleaning, mapping and translating incompatible datasets that were collected from disparate sources. CDISC standards ensure that datasets are analysis-ready from the beginning. The standards outlined by CDISC cover data collection, organisation and analysis, these include Foundational Standards, Data Exchange Standards, Disease-specific standards, and Controlled Terminology.
CDISC has been recognised by the International Organization for Standardisation (ISO) and several of their research standards are now required by healthcare regulations in the US (FDA), Japan (PMDA) and the European Medicines Agency (EMA) for clinical trial applications. In summary, implementing CDISC standards can greatly promote efficiency, improve data quality and sharing, reduce costs, and enhance innovation and collaboration within clinical research.
