Executive summary

This whitepaper explains the enormous benefits to be gained from a clinical data warehouse (CDW) and emphasises the importance of accelerating its implementation.

CDW is the natural solution to a rapidly growing need for organising, storing and sharing clinical data from different systems. The availability of clinical data across a company saves time, reduces costs and facilitates compliance. However, the decision to adopt CDW cannot be made without a clear idea of how to implement it. Implementation is an immense undertaking and should not be underestimated. If the CDW is to be delivered successfully and on time, it requires an implementation partner with a clear methodology, pre-designed solutions and a proven track record of implementation projects.

On the basis of extensive experience with clinical data management, statistical analysis and regulatory submission, NNIT has developed a comprehensive best practice CDW framework. This CDW framework differentiates itself by its clear focus on the acceleration of the implementation process and its unique capacity
in metadata management. NNIT ’s approach to CDW substantially accelerates implementation and reduces the time spent on design, construction and testing by up to 50%.

This whitepaper details NNIT ’s approach and the building blocks of its CDW solution with a particular focus on the CDW accelerators.
