About the Definition Subsystem

The Definition subsystem covers four basic activities:

• Creating data collection modules (DCMs), data collection instruments (DCIs), and, optionally, DCI Books, which describe the data to be collected for a study.
• Creating data entry windows corresponding to the data collection modules.
• Assigning the data collection modules to the clinical planned events at which they are to be collected.
• Creating Validation and Derivation Procedures for the data to be collected.

See the Oracle Clinical Creating a Study guide for more information.
