Metadata in a hybrid study

In a hybrid study a Clintrial protocol is used to enter clinical data through the Clintrial Enter module as well as to store and validate clinical data through other Clintrial modules. In addition, users can enter validated data to the update table of the Clintrial software by using the EDC and synchronization capabilities of the InForm software. Rules identified with the items in the Clintrial software generate queries that are resolved using the InForm software. You can resolve discrepancies on data entered through the Clintrial Enter module by using the Clintrial Resolve module.

Blocks, page templates, and page sections in the Clintrial protocol correlate to visits, forms and sections in the InForm study.

Because of minor functionality differences between the InForm and Clintrial design environments, it may be necessary to manage metadata in both environments.
