Validating Patient Data

The sponsor designs validation checks to prevent data entry errors and to streamline responses in CRFs. If you enter or update a response that does not meet specified criteria, RDC Onsite prompts you for clarification.

In addition, your sponsor defines complex validation checks as well as the ones that execute when you navigate from a field after entering a value. These complex checks are executed by the Validate patient(s) option provided on the Patient Casebooks page.

According to instructions from your sponsor, you can validate patient data on completion of data entry for a visit. RDC Onsite only validates CRFs of status Entry Complete, and CRFs currently not being updated by another user.

The Validate option is available only if you have update privileges.

To validate patient data after data entry is complete:

1. Navigate to the Patient Casebooks page.
2. Select one or more patients.
3. Click the Action menu in the table bar and select Validate from the list.
4. Click Continue. RDC Onsite prompts for confirmation that you want to validate the selected patients.
5. Click Continue. A dialog box confirms the validation of the selected patients.

6. Click Close to close the dialog box and return to the Patient Casebooks page.

   RDC Onsite refreshes the patient and CRF icons in the casebook spreadsheet to reflect the validated CRFs.
