    Host: Richard Young, Vice President, Vault CDMS Strategy, Veeva Guest: Trevor Griffiths, Senior Director, Clinical Data Management, Syneos Health Description: Host Richard Young speaks to Trevor Griffiths, senior director for clinical data management at Syneos Health. Data management is becoming much more complex for CROs, as trials become larger and data sources more diverse. Yet Syneos was still able to eliminate 3,000 hours of manual review in a single trial through machine learning. As the industry moves to a single view of all clinical study data, will we get clean data ready faster? What does this mean for the role of the data manager? *Veeva CDB refers to Veeva's clinical data platform for complete and concurrent data (available late 2022).
