About analyzing data

Analyzing case data tells you what you already know and points the way to important information that you may need to know more about. Searching and sorting case information from various angles may offer insights not otherwise noticed. This process helps stimulate thinking among trial members and can reveal patterns that may be useful in achieving the best results for clients.
