Data are raw facts, observations, or measurements (numbers, text, images, signals) that gain meaning when processed and analyzed. Why is data important in healthcare? Data drives clinical decisions, research findings, public health actions, and medical innovations. Why is high-quality data critical? It ensures accurate results, protects patients, supports regulatory compliance, and builds public trust. What are the key characteristics of high-quality data? Accuracy, completeness, consistency, reliability, and timeliness. What is the role of a Clinical Data Manager? To ensure data is accurate, clean, consistent, and ready for analysis throughout the study lifecycle. What is the Clinical Data Management lifecycle? A continuous process from protocol design → CRFs → database → data collection → cleaning → analysis → reporting → archiving. What tools are used in Clinical Data Management? EDC systems (e.g., REDCap), statistical tools (R), dashboards, and reporting tools (e.g., R Markdown). Previous Step Log in to track progress Next Lesson
