DCM Tracking Tools

Oracle Clinical provides reports and forms that interact dynamically with the schedule established during study design. This study schedule creates the framework within which visits and their associated DCMs are expected; when DCMs are missing or overdue or have discrepancies associated with them, they are reported in various levels of detail by the tools listed in the following table.
