2 Planning and Designing a Study

The Plan subsystem provides an organizational framework for research groups that conduct diverse studies. You can use it to arrange the Oracle Clinical database to model your group's associations: programs, projects, organizations, or regions.

Note:

Oracle recommends that you use the Easy Study Design facility to create a new study. See Easy Study Design
