The Department of Biostatistics has advanced systems to manage the delivery of large volume of data and clinical data with its leading-edge technologies. We have designed our IT systems and associated SOPs to comply with FDA (Food and Drug Administration) “Guidance for Industry – Computerized Systems Used in Clinical Trials” and FDA 21 CFR Part 11 regulations.
The IT infrastructure is designed to be secured to support our data management and Biostatistics services; with a focus on large-scale data management and electronic data capture (EDC) solutions.
To ensure the highest level of security and to maintain the functionality of EDC, we have designed a multi-layered network with multiple firewalls to mirror these activities. This architecture also ensures that only fully authenticated users are able to access our internal LAN. Our security protocols begin with controlled access to the premises, workstations and servers; followed by controlled access to the databases and systems over the Internet, intrusion detection, virus scanning at all ports of entry.
We have developed a comprehensive set of SOPs to address all the key aspects of our IT department/network maintenance from backup policy, disaster recovery plans, and procurement rules for hardware and 3rd-party software applications, to system and software validation and change control. A separate set of SOPs govern the development and maintenance of our internal applications.
As mandatory procedure by our SOPs, our systems and their associated SOPs undergo periodic independent Audit.
The department of Biostatistics is the paramount in clinical data management services. It is a large-scale data management office where the prime approach is to provide the clients with clinical data management solutions that are customizable to client requirements, cost-effective, secure, regulatory-compliant, accelerated data collection process, regardless of the data collection method the clients choose.
Supported by our leading-edge data management systems and integrated SOPs, our staff can fulfill unique project requirements, such as:
Our flexibility in accommodating changes to project specifications is paralleled with a complete audit trail; while maintaining quality of study data and adhering to expected study timelines.
The following is a summary of our data management services and procedures:
