About the Conduct Subsystem

Conduct deals with entering, tracking, and cleaning clinical trial data. This subsystem encompasses the following functions:

• Log-In — Enter key information that identifies CRFs and creates the CRF tracking database.
• Data Entry — Complete first-pass and second-pass (verification) data entry.
• Batch Data Load — Load data from electronic sources rather than by manual methods.
• Batch Validation —Execute Validation and Derivation Procedures on new and changed data.
• Discrepancy Management — Guide the data query and correction process by taking note of the discrepancies recorded in the discrepancy database.
• Data Update — Interactively correct data values through data entry windows.
• Data Freezing and Locking — Control access to data to prevent unauthorized modifications.
• Data Browse — Review data in the interactive data entry windows in a read-only mode.
• Study Conduct Reports — Run reports that help visualize the current state of data acquisition and monitor the overall progress of data collection.
