Univariate Validation

As the cursor is about to leave a response field, Oracle Clinical validates the data entered in the field, checking for each of the following criteria:

  • Value is entered where response has been defined as mandatory.

  • Length of value is less than or equal to the definition.

  • Decimal precision for numeric fields is less than or equal to the definition.

  • Data type (character, number, date) is correct.

  • Dates are at least as complete as the date type requires.

  • Value for a DCM question with a discrete value group (DVG), including an external DVG (thesaurus), is valid.

  • Value falls within the upper and lower bounds, if bounds exist, for numeric, date, or time fields.
