Two primary methods used to gather data for Real World Evidence (RWE) research are chart reviews and Electronic Medical Record (EMR) extractions. Chart Review involves manually extracting data from patient medical records, including both paper-based charts and digital documents. This method provides a rich source of detailed clinical information. EMR Extractions involve the… Continue reading Chart Review and EMR Extractions in RWE Research
