InForm workflow

The typical InForm workflow includes the following steps:

1. Clinical research coordinators (CRCs) log in to an InForm study using a web browser.
2. CRCs fill out and submit electronic case report forms (CRFs) over the Internet.
3. The InForm application stores the clinical data entered into the CRFs in the InForm study database.
4. The InForm application evaluates the data and automatically generates queries on any questionable data.
5. CRCs answer the queries generated by the InForm application.
6. Clinical research associates (CRAs) review the clinical study data.
7. CRAs send queries to the CRCs if there are questions on clinical data items.
8. CRAs source verify data and mark the CRFs, or a subset if the items and itemsets on a CRF, as source verified.
9. CRAs may also freeze the CRFs to indicate to the Clinical Data Manager (CDM) that the data is ready for analysis.
10. CDMs prepare data for analysis.
11. CDMs may send queries to the CRCs if there are questions on clinical data items.
12. After data has been verified and analyzed, the CDM locks the CRFs (usually done by visit).
13. Investigators review locked CRFs and sign required CRFs and/or case report books.
