Oracle has launched Oracle Health Sciences Data Management Workbench to help life sciences organizations running clinical trials. Clinical development is an increasingly networked and collaborative discipline across companies, which further complicates the data management landscape. These factors, as well as continued pressure to boost clinical program productivity and reduce the cost and risk of clinical trials, are driving a critical need for a new approach to clinical data management and warehousing.

Oracle Health Sciences Data Management Workbench can help researchers integrate, reconcile and analyze clinical data faster and more accurately, which automates data load, transform and cleanse processes. As a result, sponsors can make faster, more informed decisions that improve control, support adaptive studies and accelerate clinical trials and time to market. 

Workbench enables health sciences organizations to accelerate clinical studies and boost program productivity, while helping to drive down the cost and risk of clinical trials. The solution, which is integrated with Oracle Life Sciences Data Hub, automatically aggregates, integrates and reconciles the rapidly growing volume of data that clinical trials collect from internal and external data sources, including electronic data capture, laboratory, safety/pharmacovigilance and drug supply systems. By doing so, it helps dramatically decrease the complexity of data management and reduce the cost of clinical trials.

In addition, the solution automates the normalization and transformation of multi-source data to create a single source of truth for all stakeholders in the clinical development process and helps enable rapid analysis to drive faster, more informed decisions.

The standardized data formats used within the system are repeatable and reusable, which reduces the time and cost of trial set-up. Organizations also can streamline compliance with full traceability of data discrepancies as well as comprehensive security and audit trail capabilities.
