In this QCast episode, Jullia and Tom demystify data validation in clinical data management — how a lean, risk-based approach safeguards data integrity and supports confident database lock, inspection readiness, and downstream SDTM and ADaM deliverables. 

Key Takeaways

• Prioritise a lean Data Validation Plan that targets critical data, tunes top checks, controls changes and captures test evidence.
• Treat third-party data as first-class by standardising units and timestamps, validating imports and reconciling on a steady cadence.
• Connect monitoring and validation with shared dashboards, agreed thresholds and coordinated actions to focus effort and cut noise.
• Prove and improve by tracking balanced metrics, holding post-lock retrospectives and promoting proven rules into a reusable library.
