Data Science & Analytics
Clinical Trial Management Dashboard (CTMD)
Description
RENCI is working with the Duke Clinical Research Institute’s Trial Innovation Center (TIC) on a project that will impact the collaborative capabilities between the CTSA sites. The TIC came to RENCI with a name-value-pair list of cross-team project proposal data with no easy method for parsing or generating insights. RENCI brought to bear the curative skills of trainees from the School of Information and Library Science (SILS) to inform a data model and ETL pipeline to transform these data into a structured database. RENCI is further using this database to collaboratively design an interactive analytical dashboard for visualizing the data and generating hypotheses about how to better support the team collaborations.
RENCI's Role
RENCI has been refining the problem statement to provide an innovative solution through data science and advanced visualizations. This is one of several projects aimed at expanding a Translational initiative at the Institute. As a research science institute with expertise in all areas of data science, RENCI is translating the data visualization, data analytics, data modelling, and data management innovations employed on this project into generalizable methods that can be used by all CTSAs, including UNC. Longer term, RENCI aims to build on the successes of this project, promoting an even more productive collaboration for reducing clinical trial costs and improving healthcare outcomes.
