Title
Real-world data for assessing and improving patient care, and enriching clinical trials
Abstract
Real world data is an emerging area of interest in the healthcare field. By using heart failure as a case study, aim will be to show the different areas where real-world data generation is key for clinical research and practice, and more specifically: 1) disease characterization and patient profiling; 2) measure/improve quality of care; 3) improve RCT design; 4) measure/monitor long-term effectiveness and safety and tolerability; 5) assess RCT generalizability; 6) running trials.
