Real-world data (RWD) is reshaping healthcare and life sciences by filling gaps left by traditional clinical trials and enabling more evidence-based decisions. From regulatory review to value-based care, RWD provides insights that reflect real patient populations and everyday clinical practice.
That’s why we developed Charting the Landscape of Real-World Data in the U.S.—a comprehensive white paper that maps the most widely used U.S. datasets, demonstrates how they’re applied across healthcare, and explores solutions to challenges around access, quality, and interoperability.
Why Real-World Data Matters
Randomized clinical trials (RCTs) remain the gold standard for establishing safety and efficacy, but they don’t capture the full complexity of care in real-world settings. RWD helps close that gap.
Collected from electronic health records (EHRs), insurance claims, registries, and digital health tools, RWD reflects the diversity of patient experiences. When rigorously analyzed, it becomes real-world evidence (RWE), offering critical insights into long-term outcomes, safety, and therapeutic opportunities.
Today, RWD is no longer an optional supplement. It is central to healthcare innovation, regulatory science, and clinical practice.
What’s Inside the White Paper
You’ll find a clear, practical guide that covers:
- Core concepts of RWD and RWE
- The most commonly used U.S. datasets and what they capture
- Applications across life sciences and healthcare
- Challenges in leveraging RWD and how to address them
- Best practices and future directions shaping the field
Grounded in a targeted literature review and 27 expert interviews, the paper offers both high-level perspective and actionable insights.
Who Should Read This?
This white paper is designed for professionals across the healthcare ecosystem:
- Researchers and life sciences leaders expanding the evidence base and advancing R&D
- Clinicians working to improve patient outcomes and care delivery
- Data strategists and health tech innovators building next-generation solutions
Regardless of your role, this paper offers practical guidance for navigating and leveraging RWD effectively.
