Clinical Data Interchange Standards Consortium

Technical - to date, cdisc has developed therapeutic area Standards for over 44 disease areas and we continue to update and expand these Standards when possible. In 2023, cdisc continues to develop significant new versions of the cdisc foundational Standards (send, cdash, sdtm, sdtmig, adam, controlled terminology and Data exchange Standards). The trial master file reference model (tmf rm) standard has became part of the cdisc suite of standards.cdisc released several updates to the cdisc library to add new features as well as new versions of the Standards. Cdisc core rule engine and rule editor software has released as open source and the team continues to make progress. For the cdisc the digital Data flow project we realeased a reference architecture as a standard and are working on version 3. Cdisc continues to run numerous hackathons and workshops to promote, support, and sometimes sponsor open-source software focused on implementing or developing the cdisc Standards to drive innovation.

Events - cdisc hosted three virtual and one in-person conference in 2023. These conferences were "interchanges," individually focused on europe, japan, china and united states markets. The events promoted recent advancements by cdisc Standards teams, cdisc members and independent developers.
