People and processes

Data Management is more than just computer systems. We have an extensive training program for Data Entry staff and a team of Senior Data Management personnel with an average of 9 years experience. We use many innovative processes proven to improve throughput and to contain costs. These combine to create a first-class service offering:

  • Paper CRFs
  • Electronic Data Capture
  • Prompt query processing
  • Extensive management reports
  • Study-specific data conventions
  • Study-specific web sites
  • Full document tracking systems

Our proprietary NODES database system and NODES EDC web interface provide a powerful and robust data management environment. It has been developed and refined over 20 years with many studies varying in size from 10 to 15,000 subjects. It is flexible and scalable, and complies with all the relevant FDA requirements.

Data Management philosophy

The key to our service is flexibility. We work with our client to find the optimal solution to their Data Management needs. Our philosophy is that Data Management should never become isolated from Clinical Trial Operations. The purpose of any study is ultimately to create a database and hence a p-value that is trusted. Data Management at WCT thus works closely with all other parties to the project to ensure that a database of the highest quality is achieved.
