How does Partial SV subject selection work?
In terms of Partial SV, there are several groups, or pools of subjects at a site. When you configure your Partial SV settings, you are sorting subjects at each site into the pools. Take a look at the graphic below.
- General Pool—All of the subjects at a site.
- SV Pool—Subjects whose data requires source verification because they're in the Auto-Select Pool or the Manual Pool.
- Auto-Select Pool—Subjects who were selected by the SV Target Rate or Number of initial subjects settings.
- Manual Pool—Subjects who you manually added using the Enter subject number drop-down list, or by importing a subject list.
- SV Eligible Pool—Subjects who are available to be added to the SV Pool. Subjects in the SV Eligible Pool can be added to the SV Pool if you manually add them, or if you increase the SV Target Rate or Number of initial subjects settings.
- Excluded Subjects—Subjects who can't be added to the Auto-Select Pool in the SV Pool. The only way you can require source verification for these subjects' data is by manually adding them using the Enter subject number drop-down list, or by including them in an imported subject list.
Note: Items associated with excluded subjects can still be marked as critical.
The Auto-Select system selects a percentage of subjects from the SV Eligible Pool depending on the value set in the SVAUTOSELECTRATE setting. Values can be assigned from 1 to 100. Only subjects in the SV Eligible Pool will be considered for Auto-Select selection, therefore manually selected subjects will not be included in this percentage.
