Recently, Mac Bonafede, VP of Real-World Evidence at Veradigm, led an insightful and thought-provoking discussion with a panel of RWE experts from Pfizer, Bayer, AstraZeneca, and UCB. The panel discussed how RWE has proven itself as a critical resource to strengthen value, improve patient outcomes, and inform product and pipeline strategies.
As Mac noted in the webinar, it is critical to emphasize the significance of integrating clinical data with real-world insights. The panelists highlighted the challenges and opportunities in harnessing RWE, especially in enhancing patient care and advancing medical research. The discussion also explored the pivotal role of technology in improving data collection and analysis, thereby empowering healthcare providers and researchers.
A key takeaway from the webinar was the underutilization of RWE in clinical research. Only a small number of physicians participate in clinical research, despite a majority expressing interest. This gap underscores the potential for growth in this area. Veradigm’s approach focuses on bridging this gap by facilitating easier participation for physicians in RWE generation.
The barriers to effective RWE use were also discussed by the panelists. Challenges like data accuracy and the balance between data collection and patient care were brought to light. Veradigm’s perspective on overcoming these hurdles involves developing user-friendly EHR systems and enhancing data quality without burdening healthcare providers.
The webinar concluded on an optimistic note, with a consensus on the untapped potential of RWE in transforming healthcare. The panelists shared their excitement about the future possibilities in this space, emphasizing the role of collaborations and technological advancements.
