Though, as we are seeing today in many other aspects of health care, the science is evolving at a much faster pace than the art.<\/p>\n<p>Healthcare companies, insurance companies, and employers are leveraging the expertise of behavioral economists, and information contained in claims databases, electronic medical records, and a variety of other data sources to understand more about patients. This knowledge base is helping us understand things like:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>where patients present for care<\/li>\n<li>how they learn about treatment options<\/li>\n<li>how they are referred to a healthcare provider<\/li>\n<li>why they make decisions for or against the pursuit of treatment options<\/li>\n<li>and much more<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In addition, there is a vast and growing spectrum of internet-based pathways that can be utilized in a push-and-pull manner to drive traffic to study sites. In aggregate, there is a mountain of interesting ways that companies are leveraging science to improve the efficiency of clinical trials.<\/p>\n<p>A solution that has existed for more than a decade, but has improved dramatically in terms of richness, affordability and adoption, is the use of health insurance claims data. Specifically, in the process of using such data in the planning and execution of pivotal-stage clinical trials. The use of this data is helping to address several long-standing deficiencies in that process. Here we address some of the most common deficiencies and uses:<\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8211; Protocol Feasibility:<\/strong> The scientific and medical leaders on the protocol development and planning teams of biopharmaceutical companies are using claims data to determine the impact of adding certain inclusion and exclusion criteria on patient availability. Not only are companies able to look at diagnosis coding (ICD-9 coding), but they are also looking at procedural coding\/claims, prescription coding\/claims, and diagnostic coding\/claims. For example, if patients cannot have been on a certain medication in the previous twelve months, how does that impact the availability of the target patients? The data can help answer those and similar questions so that sponsors understand whether or not their protocol is realistic.<\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8211; Geo-Targeting:<\/strong> By examining where claims are being filed geographically and which physicians and hospitals are filing those claims, you essentially understand where patients are located who have certain diseases and conditions. If you continue to connect the dots, you also can understand pockets of disease prevalence from a geographic perspective. This is invaluable from a patient recruitment standpoint, especially as it relates to broad-based marketing channels such as radio, television, print, and internet-based advertising. Using this data helps to minimize the risk of wasted advertising dollars, historically a big driver of cost on certain recruitment programs.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.imperialcrs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/geographic.png\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-985 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.imperialcrs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/geographic-300x153.png\" alt=\"big data for clinical trials\" width=\"377\" height=\"192\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In a couple of weeks, I\u2019ll look at several other areas where the use of insurance claims data (and increasingly, electronic health records\/electronic medical records) is being used to improve the effectiveness of patient recruitment initiatives.
