### [Data missingness or expectation misalignment? A look into a common critique of real-world data](https://info.holmusk.com/blog/data-missingness-or-expectation-misalignment)

As biopharmaceutical companies and regulatory bodies look toward adopting EHR-derived real-world data to complete studies more efficiently and affordably, one major concern that often arises is what has come to be known as “data missingness.”

### [What questions can EHR data answer for biopharmaceutical teams?](https://info.holmusk.com/blog/what-questions-can-ehr-data-answer-for-biopharmaceutical-teams)

Aug 2, 2023 8:46:54 AM

The treatment of behavioral health conditions has historically been challenging. Despite the prevalent use of the DSM-V in clinical settings, clinicians lack a detailed and standardized vocabulary to discuss these conditions. This is due to a range of factors, from wide differences in disease presentation to stigma surrounding mental health conditions. The lack of standardized vocabulary has led to a subjective approach in treating these conditions, with each clinician relying on his or her own experience.

However, as more and more patients who are treated for behavioral health conditions are documented within an electronic health record (EHR) system, researchers now have a valuable tool for studying and improving the treatment of behavioral health conditions. By bringing together vast quantities of real-world data to understand how care and treatment are delivered in clinical practice, we can start building a set of standard definitions and objective measures for mental health conditions.

This is why we have created the [NeuroBlu Database](https://www.neuroblu.ai/), in which we have extracted and organized EHR data from behavioral health clinics across the U.S. Our NeuroBlu data has thus far been leveraged by 5 of the top 15 biopharmaceutical companies with a behavioral health pipeline. These companies can benefit greatly from EHR-derived real-world data, particularly in the areas of research and development, medical affairs, and health economics and outcomes research (HEOR).

With so many types of real-world data available, it can be difficult to select the source that will meet your needs—that is, the data that will help you accurately and efficiently answer your research questions.

### [Better Evidence Begins with Higher Quality Data: Reflections from an ASCP Panel](https://info.holmusk.com/blog/better-evidence-higher-quality-data-ascp)

This year at the American Society of Clinical Psychopharmacology’s [annual conference](https://ascpp.org/ascp-meetings/ascp-annual-meeting/), I had the privilege to organize and chair a panel discussion on challenges and opportunities in leveraging real-world evidence to inform the development of new treatments in behavioral health.
