Upcoming Webinar on Real-World Clinical Data and Cohort Design

In the rapidly evolving field of healthcare research, the utilization of both structured and unstructured Electronic Health Records (EHR) data plays a pivotal role in shaping study designs. On November 18, 2025, Xtalks will conduct a complimentary webinar aimed at unraveling the intricacies of real-world clinical data and its application in developing robust research cohorts.

This session is particularly designed for healthcare professionals, researchers, and data scientists looking to deepen their understanding of how various types of clinical data can be effectively integrated to enhance diagnostic precision and bolster the reliability of study results. Attendees will gain invaluable insights on how to leverage multiple data modalities—including structured tables, narrative notes, imaging data, and genomics—to create well-defined cohorts that can withstand the scrutiny of rigorous research.

Significance of EHR Data in Research

Medical research often hinges on the quality and breadth of data available to researchers. Structured data can provide straightforward insights from quantifiable fields, while unstructured data, such as physicians' notes or diagnostic imaging interpretations, can offer context that enriches understanding. This webinar will address how both types of data serve vital functions in real-world cohort designs, thus illustrating their combined value in complex research scenarios.

Aimed at elucidating these concepts, the webinar will feature insights from prominent industry professionals including Amber Watson, Associate Medical Director at NashBio, and Steven Held, Medical Director and VP of Clinical Affairs. They will guide listeners through real-world examples of de-identified data sourced from a large academic medical center, showcasing successful integration strategies across varied data types.

Avoiding Common Pitfalls

Developing cohorts isn’t without its challenges. The webinar will also touch on typical obstacles that researchers face, such as diagnostic ambiguities and the risks associated with relying heavily on singular data formats. Attendees will learn practical techniques for navigating these challenges, including how to balance diagnostic specificity against cohort size, ensuring that research findings are both robust and applicable.

Moreover, participants can expect to delve into effective strategies aimed at validating complex clinical concepts, thus enhancing their proficiency in managing real-world data.

Why You Should Attend

This webinar is a fantastic opportunity for those invested in clinical research to explore how to make thoughtful, scalable cohort designs that can adapt to the demands of real-world studies. By attending, participants will not only gain a deeper understanding of the multifaceted world of clinical data but also equip themselves with cutting-edge strategies for future research.
