How is the visit schedule affected when a visit is skipped?

The visit window is affected only when one or more visits are scheduled from the visit that is skipped. When another visit is scheduled from the skipped visit, Oracle Clinical One Platform uses the expected visit date to calculate the schedule for subsequent visits.

For example, consider the following visit schedule:

  • Visit 1 occurs on January 1
  • Visit 2 is scheduled for 7 days after Visit 1
  • Visit 3 is scheduled for 7 days after Visit 2

Visit 2 should occur 7 days after Visit 1, on January 8. If you skip Visit 2, Oracle Clinical One Platform sets the visit date as January 8. The expected visit date of Visit 3 is then January 15.

If a site user skips a visit, completes the next visit, and then starts the skipped visit...

The Visit Start Date for the skipped visit must meet both of the following requirements:

  • The date must meet the visit schedule requirements based on the original schedule of the visit.
  • The date must be earlier than the date of the next completed visit.
