Data entry in a hybrid study

In a hybrid study, data entry occurs in both the InForm software and the Clintrial software. Data entered with the two tools is kept separate in the Clintrial database by use of the DB_ID values associated with each data record. Data entered from InForm software is given a DB_ID value of 9999. Data entered with the Clintrial Enter module is given the DB_ID value assigned during the Clintrial installation.

EDC data entered in the InForm software can be manipulated in the InForm software, but is read only in the Clintrial software. Data entered in the Clintrial Enter module is available for editing in the Clintrial software, but it is not visible to the InForm software.

An individual patient must be enrolled with either the InForm software or the Clintrial Enter module. All subsequent data entry must be accomplished with the application from which that patient was enrolled.

Once the data has been merged with the Clintrial Manage module, the data is available for subsequent Clintrial database operations.
