Pragmatic Randomized Clinical Trials Using Primary Data Collection and Electronic Health Records addresses the practical aspects and challenges of the design, implementation, and dissemination of pragmatic randomized trials, also sometimes referred to as practical or hybrid randomized trials. While less restrictive and more generalizable than traditional randomized controlled trials, such trials have specific challenges which are addressed in this book.
The book contains chapters encompassing common designs along with advantages and limitations of such designs, analytic aspects in planning trials and estimating sample size, and how to use patient partners to help design and operationalize pragmatic randomized trials. Pragmatic trials conducted using primary data collection and trials embedded in electronic health records - including electronic medical records and administrative insurance claims - are addressed.
This comprehensive resource is valuable not only for pharmacoepidemiologists, biostatisticians and clinical researchers, but also across the biomedical field for those who are interested in applying pragmatic randomized clinical trials in their research.
• Addresses typical designs and challenges of pragmatic randomized clinical trials (pRCTs)
• Encompasses analytic aspects of such trials
• Discusses real cases on operational challenges in launching and conducting pRCTs in electronic health records

Her undergraduate and doctoral training was at UNC and her MS in Applied Statistics and Computer Science is from Villanova University. She has led multi-institution academic collaborations, published extensively and reviewed for numerous peer-reviewed medical journals. As Adjunct Professor of Epidemiology at the University of North Carolina (UNC) Gillings School of Global Public Health, she collaborates on methodology research, gives guest classroom lectures and mentors numerous doctoral candidate graduate research assistants and post-doctoral fellows. Dr. Girman was an elected Board member 2015-2020 and is a fellow of the International Society for Pharmacoepidemiology (ISPE) and she annually teaches in the pragmatic randomized clinical trials (pRCT) pre-conference course. In September 2014, Dr. Girman was the first industry member nominated to the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) Methodology Committee, on which she actively contributes along with their Clinical Trials Advisory Panel. Currently, Dr. Girman consults on study design, protocol development and analytic methods for real world evidence, such as registries, post-authorization safety studies, natural history studies, comparative effectiveness research, pragmatic randomized clinical trials, and external control groups for rare diseases. She also consults on endpoint strategies for randomized clinical trials, including patient reported outcomes, clinician assessments and expert review panels, as well as patient engagement and qualitative research.
Mary E Ritchey, PhD, FISPE is Principal and Owner, Med Tech Epi, LLC a consulting group which provides real-world evidence strategy development, study design and implementation for medical devices, biotech, and medicines. She is an Associate Research Professor in the Center for Pharmacoepidemiology and Treatment Sciences at Rutgers University and a Senior Executive Pharmacoepidemiologist for CERobs Consulting, LLC.
