Recorded on 07/26/23 Over the last decade, data and analytics have become increasingly engrained in the healthcare system. Given the evolving landscape, we wanted to provide a deeper look into the different types of healthcare data currently available, as well as the users and use cases. This podcast is intended to be the first in a series on healthcare data, and in this episode we provide a general overview of how healthcare data is currently being used, with subsequent podcasts exploring subsets of healthcare data in more depth. To discuss this topic, we are joined by Paul Reuscher. After spending the early part of his career in academia researching health economic outcomes, Mr. Reuscher eventually joined IMS Health, now a part of IQVIA, first as a product manager then eventually helping develop what is now IQVIA's anonymized patient data solution. He subsequently led a similar development program for DRG, which is now a part of Clarivate. Paul currently is Vice President of Clinical Data Products at Forian, a healthcare data intelligence company. For Disclosures, click here bit.ly/3cPHkNW https://go.td.com/PodcastDisclosure

Recorded on 06/30/23 Over the last decade, contract research organizations (CROs) have become an increasingly important stakeholder in the clinical trial process. Over half of biopharma R&D budgets are outsourced to CROs, up from less than one-third ten years ago. With the high costs of drug development and importance of time to approval, CROs are relied upon for trial expertise, site networks, and abilities to accelerate KPIs such as study start up and recruitment timelines. Following a period of heightened biopharma funding during the pandemic that fueled demand for CRO services, we now enter a period of uncertainty as to where R&D budgets go from here and whether CROs can innovate their people-intensive processes to improve drug development costs and timelines going forward. To discuss these topics, we are joined by Rene Stephens. Rene leads Renatus Consulting, an independent advisory to CRO and life science clients. His experience spans the outsourced clinical trial procurement process, including procurement and contract negotiation during his time at Pfizer and Astellas, as well as business development during his time at inVentiv Health.
