Clinical Data Standards Toolkit

With the production of data sets and tabular results taking place inside of SAS® programs, it’s tempting to add code to this flow that performs these tasks. While the required code can be relatively straightforward for SAS programmers with even modest programming and industry experience, all too often the management of such code and the processes around its use are where the difficulties occur.

The Clinical Standards Toolkit (CST) can help build a stable framework for the consistent use of BASE SAS around clinical data standards processes by striking the proper balance between the flexibility of BASE SAS and the needed discipline of process parameter management. In this paper we will take a tour of the CST components and demonstrate the execution of these processes.
