The FAIR data principles were first proposed in a seminal paper published in 2016 in the Journal Scientific Data. It was written by a group of international experts in data management and curation. To address the challenges that the research community is facing, they proposed FAIR Principles as a framework for making data more discoverable, […]

Today, healthcare organizations rely on a combination of automated and manual processes to compose, review, and classify patient safety reports. These reports are entered manually by front-line clinicians into the RL Datix reporting system. This entry includes both discrete data points as well as a free-text narrative. Although the data collection process may begin with […]

As healthcare and life sciences customers work to advance clinical research, and realize personalized healthcare and precision medicine for patients, they face varying compliance, regulatory, and security requirements as well as disparate data that is siloed across multiple applications and organizations. These customers increasingly need to unlock access to quality data and leverage privacy-enhanced multi-party […]
