Viewing Multivariate Discrepancies' Responses

Multivariate discrepancies are created by Validation Procedures that compare multiple question responses as variables. They are associated with all the question responses that created the discrepancy (see Discrepancy Types).

To view the response data that triggered a multivariate discrepancy, select the discrepancy in the single-record view of the Maintain Discrepancy Database window and click the More button. (The system displays the More button only for multivariate, accessible discrepancies.) The Validation Values window opens, listing the questions (Procedure variables) whose responses triggered the discrepancy, with the response value. If you have the necessary database privileges, you can access Data Entry from the Special menu, by selecting Update Patient Data to modify the responses (seeBrowse and Update Patient Data).

Note:

If you want the response value of a question (Procedure variable) to be displayed in the discrepancy's DCF Report, select its DCF Report? box. For more information on DCFs, see Using Data Clarification Forms.

You can select any question from the list and click the Details button to view any other discrepancies associated with that question (in the bottom section, with the current discrepancy listed at the top). You cannot change the response data from this window.
