Data management planning

In order to reduce unnecessary data queries, the statistics group should be consulted early in the clinical database development process to identify variables critical for data analysis. Optimally, the statistical analysis plan would already be written by the time of database development so that the queries could be designed based on the critical variables indicated in the analysis plan. However, at the database development stage, usually only the clinical protocol exists to guide the statistics and clinical data management departments in developing the query or data management plan.

To develop a data management plan pertinent to the project, a checklist of the project material is necessary to enhance the planning. The items to be collected include the protocol, annotated case report forms (CRFs), literature, log-in and tracking forms, file structures, coding rules, CRF review conventions, query handling procedure, required edit checklist, central laboratory address/file format, laboratory normal ranges, clinically... 

From the data management perspective, the clinical data coordinator (CDC) is the central team member receiving and distributing data-related information to the project team members. The CDC meets with the project team members to review the project material collected and to elicit the rules and special requirements from the statistician, clinician, safety officer, medical writer and regulatory associates. These project materials, rules and special requirements will be considered in conjunction with data management requirements to develop the data management plan. The CDC should prepare the following documents before the clinical trials are initiated ... 

A data management plan describes the creating, organizing, documenting, storing, and sharing data. The plan would cover protection and confidentiality, preservation, and curation. It provides a framework that supports the safety management system documents, materials, and information. 

Prepare a reliability data acquisition plan for your or a hypothetical plant. Detail the sources of information, method of recording, analysis methods, and interfaces with management, maintenance, and operations. 

Combinatorial chemistry and HT E are powerful tools in the hands of a scient ist, as they are a source for meaningful consistent records of data that would be hard to obtain via conventional methods within a decent timeframe. This blessing of fast data acquisition can turn into a curse if the experimentalist does not take precautions to carefully plan the experiments ahead and the means of handling the data and analyzing them afterwards. The two essential elements that ensure a successful execution of ambitious projects on a rational and efficient basis are, therefore, tools that enable the scientist to carefully plan experiments and get the most out of the minimum number of experiments in combination with the possibility of fast and reliable data retrieval from databases. Therefore, experimental planning and data management are complementary skillsets for the pre- and post experimental stages.

Sometimes the blind review can throw up data issues that require further evaluation by the data management group with data queries being raised, and these perhaps may result in changes to the database. This sequence of events can cause major headaches and delays in the data analysis and reporting, and so it is important in the planning phase to get the data validation plan correct so that issues are identified and dealt with in an ongoing way. 

The integration of more sophisticate simulation systems like virtual reality systems is also possible. Electronic data management systems, that provide an integration platform for both the layout and the material-flow based data models, give an important contribution to the whole planning process. 

Based on a project (or logistics) class description of the electronic data management system, and the library of technical components it is possible to simulate any system in connection with the planning tasks. Figure 5 shows the integration scheme of different simulation systems for the planning aspects.
