Research
Premier Applied Sciences leads applied and prospective research, including clinical trials, backed by expert clinicians, data scientists and a vast healthcare data repository to tackle complex research questions.
Applied Research
Applied research leverages real-world data (RWD) and advanced analytics to deliver valuable insights. Together, RWD and real-world evidence (RWE) are critical for improving healthcare delivery and quality while ensuring medical innovations reach the right patients at
the right time.
Applied research drives innovation in the healthcare industry because it helps life sciences companies align products with market needs, optimize the product lifecycle and improve patient outcomes, all while staying competitive in a rapidly evolving healthcare landscape.
Our Solutions for Applied Research
An integral part of Premier’s RWE solutions, applied research can help you optimize product development and smooth the path to commercialization – leading to real-time, measurable impact on patient outcomes and your business. Robust data and rich RWE can also inform product development, support market segmentation and even fuel targeted marketing strategies.
Our applied research solution complements other resources including the Premier Healthcare Database (PHD) – one of the industry’s most comprehensive electronic healthcare data repositories – to position healthcare suppliers for long-term growth while creating optimal value for the patients and communities they serve.
Prospective Research
Prospective research—through clinical trials, observational studies and longitudinal cohorts—enables life sciences companies to evaluate the safety, efficacy and real-world effectiveness of medical products. By generating real-world evidence (RWE), it informs product development, market strategy and regulatory compliance while ensuring alignment with clinical needs and patient outcomes.
Premier’s Solutions for Prospective Research
Premier executes a variety of study designs that aim to determine and address gaps in evidence-based practices. We also perform observational studies to discover and compare current practices.
Our extensive experience conducting prospective research ensures that life sciences organizations have access to accurate, reliable and actionable data and insights – translating to enhanced product development and improved patient outcomes.
Clinical Trials
Clinical trials play a vital role in assessing the safety, efficacy and real-world application of healthcare products, from drugs and medical devices to diagnostic tools. Yet traditional clinical trials face significant challenges ranging from recruitment delays and stretched timelines to a lack of patient diversity and spiraling costs.
Our Solutions for Clinical Trials
Powered by AI-enabled technologies, we're using RWD and RWE to transform clinical trials – facilitating speed to value, a better patient experience and improved outcomes. Here are a few specific ways Premier’s solutions streamline clinical trials, reduce costs and accelerate the path to market for new products.
About 80 percent of trials fail to meet enrollment targets and timelines, making recruitment the most common culprit of delays. Leveraging data and technology innovations such as natural language processing (NLP), sponsors have improved recruitment by 1,800 percent and tripled enrollment over baseline projections.
Inclusion in U.S. clinical trials is a public health imperative. RWD/RWE and innovative technologies (including AI-driven NLP) allow inclusive patient identification and enrollment, engagement with a wider care network, and patient discovery in complete therapeutic areas.
Traditional site-driven design intensifies patient recruitment obstacles and generalizes data. Decentralized clinical trials (DCTs) help address these challenges, delivering accessibility, lower costs and an improved patient experience. Synthetic control arms (SCAs), made possible by large sets of de-identified patient data, can also streamline studies and ease patient burden. In fact, SCAs can reduce the number of patients needed by up to 50 percent.
