Incorporating R into your Clinical Legacy Workflows
June 22, 2021
Interest in R and the open-source ecosystem is rapidly growing in the world of clinical programming. This conservative industry has begun to see the benefits that these tools can bring into the regulatory world. The potential of RStudio professional tools is astounding, with the power that R Markdown and Shiny can bring to statistical teams and their stakeholders – but the change is not as simple as swapping out one tool with a new one. Many programmers in the life sciences and pharma industries have spent their careers using a single programming language, and adopting a new language can be quite challenging.
This webinar will explore some of the challenges of transitioning a clinical programming team to R and open-source tools alongside traditional SAS® programming models. The focus will be on questions such as adapting R to the typical workflows of a clinical programming team. Most importantly, this discussion will focus on the large challenge of upskilling programmers to a new and unfamiliar programming language and the associated process-based challenges.
