Description:
It is challenging to design cost-effective trials that can be executed on time, collect just the data that is needed, fit the available patient populations and are attractive to patients. New data sources and methods are now available, along with more sophisticated analytics to understand and make decisions to build smarter studies. Accessing these data streams is new; applying the rigor and structure needed to use the data to drive meaningful study design decisions is even newer and more challenging. Join us to hear examples of how this has been done.

Learning Objective(s):
Define the guiding principles and outlines of a process for optimizing study design for more efficient execution (and ensuring appropriate data capture); Describe the role information integration and scenario planning play in good design practices; Explain some of the challenges and successes in using EHR data, structured design information, and patient input to design studies.
