Data source mapping characterises the RWD landscape in your therapy area, helping you to plan and execute high-quality RWE

RWD source mapping provides tailored recommendations on RWD suitability based on:

  • Searches of medical literature databases (Medline, Embase) for RWE studies in indication of interest
  • Searches of HTA appraisals in the indication of interest
  • Searches of observational study registries for ongoing studies in the indication of interest

RWD source mapping provides tailored recommendations on RWD suitability based on:

  • Data Source Design
  • Population Coverage and Linkages
  • Data Availability and Completeness of Reporting
  • Data Format
  • Access Conditions
  • Data Relevance
  • Pricing and Cost

We provide further in-depth research to characterise RWD sources, giving you access to the insights needed to evaluate their suitability for your needs
