About the Session
Metadata management plays a critical role in improving the use and governance of clinical data standards. This session will discuss industry efforts to enhance Metadata Repository (MDR) capabilities, focusing on how organizations can better manage and optimize data standards across the clinical data lifecycle.
The presentation is part of the PHUSE Building a Better MDR initiative, a collaborative project involving 60+ volunteers from across pharmaceutical companies, CROs, vendors, and research organizations. The project aims to identify best practices and define key capabilities needed for next-generation MDR platforms.
Industry Survey Initiative
As part of this initiative, the team is launching a cross-industry survey to gather insights on MDR capabilities that work for organizations of all sizes. The responses will be fully anonymized and will contribute to the upcoming Building a Better MDR white paper.
