Abstract

Real world data for use in clinical trials is promising. We compared the SDTM for clinical trial data submission with FHIR® for routine documentation. After categorization of variables by relevance, clinically relevant SDTM items were mapped to FHIR®. About 30% in both were seen as clinically relevant. The majority of these SDTM items were mappable to FHIR® Observation resource.
