The Changing Role of the Clinical Data Manager (CDM)
Posted under: How is the growing adoption of EDC affecting CDMs? Is processes automation easing or threatening the work of CDMs? How is systems integration changing the required skillsets of CDMs and how to adapt? The Clinical Data Manager today: Emergency-based fireman or provident manager?
The evolution of technologies in clinical trials leads to a redefinition of the CDM role. The fast-pace adoption of EDC systems reduces the overhead of manual cleaning tasks and time-consuming back-and-forths. As a result, CDMs are asked to handle a far greater volume of complex data streams. They are also expected to spot and solve problems at earlier stages, and to collaborate with statisticians and site monitors to set specifications for validation and edit checks prior to data collection.CDMs are becoming a key cross-road and take on the role of information providers in their organization with the sponsor and sites. They need to understand the entire clinical development spectrum and how data fits.
Today, Clinical Data Managers are not only Clinical Data Managers, they can also be projects managers, programmers and in some cases medical managers, quality or regulatory experts. This inflation of competencies lead to the development of a new generation of cross-trained CDMs, eager to match their skillset with the job market expectations. CDMs have been taking on new responsibilities within their organization and benefit from additional professional opportunities.
