About hybrid studies
A hybrid study supports data entry from both the InForm (EDC) and Clintrial (paper-based) environments. In a hybrid study:
- Data entered through EDC is stored in an InForm study database and then transferred to a Clintrial protocol database in the same way as in an EDC-only study.
- Data entered through the Clintrial software is stored only in the Clintrial protocol database.
You can design a hybrid study to support data validation with the following scenarios:
- Paper-based data is validated by Clintrial validation processing, and EDC data is validated with InForm validation processing.
- Paper-based data is validated by Clintrial validation processing, and EDC data is validated by both InForm and Clintrial validation processing.
Note: You cannot integrate a study in which data entry is all paper-based. (You cannot transfer data entered with the Clintrial Enter module into an InForm study database for visibility through the InForm user interface.) However, you can convert an all-paper-based study into a hybrid study and introduce the capability to enter data with either the InForm software or the Enter module.
