Retrospective Chart Review Studies

Real-world patient data is essential to understand the potential impact of therapies or devices in an actual clinical practice setting. This includes assessments of patient characteristics, treatment patterns, effectiveness and safety, and providing overall value demonstration, as well as informing on important therapeutic findings to help guide treatment decisions. Chart review studies allow access to this critical data collected in patient medical charts to help answer pressing clinical questions about your product including:

How will my drug perform in the real world?
What is the burden of illness for my indication?
What is the relevant patient profile for my therapy?
How does my product compare to others?

Our dedicated team of scientists and researchers have conducted more than 50 studies, across 12 therapeutic areas in more than 18 countries in the past five years. We can design fit-for-purpose chart review studies using the methodology that best fits your needs.

ClinicaLive™: Rapid, Patient-Level Data

ClinicaLive™ can be used as an alternative to traditional chart review methods, leveraging data from our global network of 2.2 million physicians.

Continuously refreshed, the data surfaced through ClinicaLive is IRB-approved, rapid, real-world evidence that can withstand the rigor of top tier journal peer review. With broad geographic reach including South America and Asia, ClinicaLive can provide access to geographies where it can be difficult to find robust existing datasets with rare diseases/small populations, or disease subsets.

REWARD: Rapid and Repeatable Access to Robust Data

Our REWARD electronic medical record (EMR) Network (REal-World Access to Remote Data) uses existing health information exchange (HIE) technology to connect clinical sites’ EMR data and pre-enable them for research. A streamlined way to access sites’ rich EMR data to answer specific research questions, REWARD can quickly and efficiently access needed data by:

Extracting pseudonymized data into standard data formats
Analyzing data to address pertinent research questions
Securely storing data following specific country requirements

REWARD can be utilized to conduct chart reviews with the same scientific rigor as traditional studies, at much greater speed.

Site-Based Chart Reviews

Traditional chart reviews, a proven method of collecting clinical data from charts manually, can also be conducted by our experts. With this traditional model, local site staff review medical records and enter requested data into a user-friendly, secure electronic data capture (EDC) system, allowing for centralized, real-time monitoring, cleaning and analyses of study data by our experts. Chart data can include demographics, disease history, medication use, physician and emergency room visits, hospitalizations, diagnostic test results, adverse events, and co-morbidities, alongside patient-level health outcomes data. Our researchers can perform queries in real-time based on desired research questions.
