Production environment workflow
When study design and development are complete, use the CIS integrated production environment to:
- Test the flow of metadata and clinical data between the product components.
- Run a live integrated study.
The following steps illustrate a typical integrated production environment workflow:
- Deploy the package to an InForm study database.
- Create a synchronization connection between the InForm study database and the Clintrial clinical database, and transfer the protocol component definitions to the Clintrial database through the synchronization process.
- Enter clinical data through the InForm software (storing EDC data in the InForm database) and through the Clintrial Enter module (storing the paper-based data in the Clintrial database).
- Through a synchronization connection, and using data mapping definitions, transfer the study metadata and the EDC clinical data from the InForm study database to the Clintrial database.
- Validate entered data by running Clintrial or InForm rules:
- Resolve EDC data queries in the InForm software, whether they originate from rules within the InForm database or the Clintrial database.
- Resolve paper-based data discrepancies by using the Clintrial data validation modules.
- Archive and manage study data in the Clintrial clinical data management system.
