Visits scheduled for a future date
Under specific circumstances, you can complete a visit for a subject in advance of that person's arrival—that is, a future date visit.
You can perform a future date visit if clinical supplies must be ordered from another location in time for the subject's visit. Since the supplies take time to be scheduled and delivered, you decide to perform the visit and then schedule the date of the visit so it is closer to the expected delivery time.
A visit performed on a future date must occur in the visit window. To reschedule a visit to an out-of-window date, see Rescheduled visits.
These visits follow the same format as a regularly scheduled visit, except that you:
- Manually enter the date of the visit.
- Perform the visit.
Be sure to pull the drug units from inventory and set them aside for the subject when that person arrives for the visit.
