Sourcing Real World Data
Understanding diverse real world data sources and the questions they can answer
Jan 19, 2021

Real world data (RWD) are becoming more important, with both regulators and payers increasingly asking for real world evidence (RWE) to help understand the context of new therapies and the likely clinical and economic impact. This is especially true for rare conditions where regulators may approve treatments with limited data.

Developing high quality RWE acceptable to payers and regulators depends on identifying the right data sources and applying these data appropriately. In this paper, we outline common types of real world datasets, highlight considerations when deciding which ones to use, and give examples of how IQVIA has helped clients find the right data source to answer their research question.
