18 Integrating with a Clinical Trial Management System

Oracle Clinical can be integrated with a clinical trial management system (CTMS) to automatically pass certain data and metadata from one system to the other. There is an existing Oracle AIA process integration pack (PIP), that integrates Oracle Clinical with Siebel Clinical; see Oracle Study, Subject, and Visit Synchronization Integration Pack for Siebel Clinical and Oracle Clinical 3.1 Implementation Guide at: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E21374_01/doc.31/e20497.pdf.

This integration:

  • Creates Oracle Clinical sites, Investigators and study sites based on Protocol site Information sent from Siebel Clinical

  • Passes information about patients and visits from Oracle Clinical to Siebel Clinical

  • Allows you to use the Oracle Clinical user interface to define Oracle Clinical/Remote Data Capture (RDC) data collection events that should be treated as visits/activities in Siebel Clinical and passes information o Siebel Clinical to signal the completion of visits/activities for patients

If you are using the Siebel Clinical integration, you must follow the instructions in this chapter.

You can use the same tools used to develop the Siebel Clinical integration to develop your own integration with a different system. New web services are available in Oracle Clinical to create and update sites, Investigators and study sites; see the Oracle Clinical Application Programming Interface Guide for further information. In addition, you must follow the instructions in this chapter to enable patient activity integration and define activities. Oracle Clinical writes information about patient visit/activity completion to the CLINICAL_STUDY_AQ activities queue in the database where a web service can pick it up and send it to another application.
