Gartner’s Carol Rozwell is one of the industry’s leading authorities on technology adoption and clinical data standards. In this illuminating interview with ClinPage editor Mark Uehling, she discusses why some organizations hesitate to use CDISC standards and how some contract research organizations (CRO) have recently begun to see data standards differently.

In addition, Rozwell discusses the role of senior management; how the electronic health record (EHR) may affect clinical trials; and CDISC’s CDASH Initiative, an ambitious effort to standardize case report form design. She also reflects on parallels between the adoption of electronic data capture (EDC) and data standards. For a full, unabridged look at what Rozwell said, check out the transcript below.
