copied from other studies
Questions and Question Groups from the GLIB
DCMs from the GLIB or from other studies
Study Level DCMs are modified before use to adjust for specific study conditions

Default Layout is generated
User may edit generated layout using the Layout Editor
Final screens used for data entry, update and browse
Screens are marked as “Active” when ready for Production entry

Input file must be defined in a standard load format
Data load supports insert of new data and update of existing data
Examples of Batch Loader - eLoader
2/21/2017Katalyst Healthcares & Life Sciences
11. 11
Data Validation Definition:
Single-field checks are done automatically during data entry or batch load
Inter-field checks are defined in Validation Procedures
Validation Procedures are coded as Boolean expressions
Validation Procedures may be run against test data in test mode before

Data Validation Definition Contd..
Procedures can compare different fields on the same CRF for the same visit
Procedures can compare fields from different CRFs at the same visit
Procedures can compare same fields from CRFs at different visits
Procedures can compare responses from different CRSs at different visits
2/21/2017Katalyst Healthcares & Life Sciences
13. 13
Data Derivation:
Derived questions may be added to a DCM
Derivation procedures define how the value is calculated and executed in batch
Eg: Age is a derived question ie. The value is derived from the Date of Birth and
Current System Date.

Validation Procedure execution and Reporting:
Validation failures are entered in Discrepancy Database
Discrepancies are tracked, managed and resolved online
Closed discrepancies may be marked as “resolved” or “irresolvable” or “obsolete”
Data Quality reports can show historical Discrepancy rates
2/21/2017Katalyst Healthcares & Life Sciences
15. 15
Query Management:
Discrepancies from single field failures inserted into Discrepancy Database
Discrepancies from multi-field failures detected during a batch validation also
inserted into Discrepancy Database
Updates to data can be made as Investigator resolves the Queries
Data may be locked or frozen when considered clean
2/21/2017Katalyst Healthcares & Life Sciences
16. 16
Data Extracts:
System creates a set of CRF-based views for each study
CURRENT view is view of the working data
STABLE view is view of the data at the of the last last batch validation
SNAPSHOT view is view of the data at some previous point in time
Test view is view of the data entered in Test Mode
Views may be accessed from Oracle or any third-party tool
Equivalent set of SAS views created for accessing data from SAS.

17. 17
Laboratory Reference Range Management:
Allows definition of Normal Ranges for Laboratory Data
For each lab store valid range and units for each lab test
Range may vary by age and gender of patient
Range may vary over time
Lab range subsets allow range to vary by patient category, for example, diabetic
patient
CRFs are mapped to laboratory that produced results
Ranges and units are available to validations and extractions
To flag, out of range values and for unit conversions

Thesaurus Management System:
Dictionaries are loaded into Thesaurus Management System
DCMs are defined with derived questions to hold the dictionary terms and codes
Manual Classifications allows search against dictionaries
2/21/2017Katalyst Healthcares & Life Sciences
19. 19
System Management:
Allows company specific definition of master code lists
For example, which question categories will be available
Allows company specific security management,
which user can see which menu options
which user can access which studies
Allows company specific installation information
Machine name and printer name
Allows definition of company specific programs and reports

23. Oracle Clinical Overview Pre-Study Set-up
23
These modules are used to set up Global
Objects that are used in categorizing
studies. Typically a common set is
maintained across sites.
These values are usually maintained by an
Administrator and must be in place
before a study can be defined.
Pre-Study Set-up

24. Oracle Clinical Overview Study Design
24
These modules are used to set up (or design)
new studies. This includes identification of
the protocol, patients, visits, sites, and
investigators.
This module can also be used to create, load
and manage randomization information.
Studies can be replicated between locations
for distributed management and shared data
access.
Clinical Studies

25. Oracle Clinical Overview Global Library
25
These modules are used to create and manage
Global Library Objects.
The Global Library serves as a central
storehouse of objects that are used for
modeling CRFs (Questions, Question Groups,
and DVGs) as well as to create CRFs
(DCMs/DCIs), Procedures and Extract View
Definitions.
The Global Library allows a company to
maintain standards, but allows flexibility when
the objects are used in studies.
Companies can replicate the Global Library
between locations.
Global Library

These modules are used to model CRFs, set up
Page Tracking, set up edit checks, set up
derived value calculations, and define custom
extract views.
Test Data Entry, Test Procedure Execution,
Test Discrepancy Management, and Test Mass
Changes is also conducted from this menu.

manually enter update, and
browse data by the Data
Management Group.
First and Second Pass
Data Entry, and an optional
Reconciliation stage are
available.
Data Entry

the on-going study by the Data
Management Group.
This includes generation and control
of Extract Views, Batch Loading of
Data, Management of Discrepancies,
Mass Changes and Database Locking.

29. Oracle Clinical Overview Batch Data Load
29
Batch Data Load
The Batch Data Load Modules
provide a way to electronically
load data.
Two modes (In Study for within
study single DCM loads) and Out
of Study (for multiple study
multiple DCM loads) are available.

30. Oracle Clinical Overview Discrepancy Management
30
Data Validation
The Discrepancy Management System allows
identification of single question (univariate)
discrepancies, multiple (multivariate)
discrepancies, manual comments, and
Thesaurus discrepancies.
The system automatically creates
discrepancies during Data Entry or Batch
Processing.
DM/CRAs can review discrepancies, update
their status, modify data, and create DCF
reports to send to Investigators
2/21/2017Katalyst Healthcares & Life Sciences
31. Oracle Clinical Overview Data Extract
31
The Data Extract Module provides the
capability to automatically generate and
modify extract views for both Oracle and
SAS.
Different types of views (current, snapshot,
etc.) can be created.
Different keys, responses, and data about
the responses can be included in the views.

32. Oracle Clinical Overview Mass Changes
32
Mass Changes
The Mass Changes Utility provides a way
to change data for up to 99,999 records
at a time.
Keys and responses can be changed, and
RDCIs can be deleted (soft delete).
2/21/2017Katalyst Healthcares & Life Sciences
33. Oracle Clinical Overview Freezing and Locking
33
Freezing & Locking
The Freezing and Locking Modules
provide a way to close a study.
Locking prevents changes to existing
records. Freezing prevents changes to
existing records and prevents addition
of new records.
Freezing and Locking can be done on a
record by record or on a group basis.
