Patient status and record transfer
Trial sponsors develop and maintain their own practices regarding patient status and transferring patient records to another site. When you use the InForm application user interface to transfer patients, the application displays patient status, so that sponsors can view patient status before they execute the transfer. The application displays the following patient status information:
- Signature status—The number of required signatures that are missing for the patient.
- Query status—The number of queries that are open for the patient.
- Source verification status—The number of forms that have yet to be source-verified for the patient. A form is counted as needing source verification if any entered items on the form have not been source verified.
Note: While it might be good practice to ensure that all forms for a patient are signed and source-verified, and that all queries a resolved before transferring a patient, Oracle acknowledges that each trial might have different processes and procedures. The InForm application does not prevent the transfer of a patient with outstanding queries, outstanding required signatures, or forms that are not source-verified.
