A Form item output mapping in data extracts

As clinical data is extracted from Oracle Clinical One Platform to use in Oracle Clinical One Analytics and other downstream applications, form items get represented in four different columns: Raw, Formatted, Decode and the item itself.

Note:

There is a record created for every change applied in Oracle Clinical One Platform. Each record displays the value at the time of the change.

Each item column (ITEM_R, ITEM_F, ITEM_D, and ITEM) displays in the extract using the question's reference code. The reference code is specified in form design. For example, if the reference code of a question is AGE, the ITEM columns will output in the extract as AGE_R, AGE_F, AGE_D and AGE, respectively.

Following are the general descriptions of each column and a table with special considerations according to data type:

Raw: ITEM_R
Alphanumeric value as entered in Oracle Clinical One Platform with no conversions. This includes data entry flags.
Formatted: ITEM_F
Value as entered in Oracle Clinical One Platform converted to the question data type as per form design. Values from text questions are formatted to remove all non-printable characters (such as tabs, carriage returns, newline characters, and leading or trailing white spaces).
Decode: ITEM_D
Decoded raw value, with additional considerations according to data type. If the question has a code value, it is populated in this field.
Item: ITEM or VALUE
Contains either the formatted or decode value, depending on data type.
