What do I need to do to use calculated doses?
You create a study as you normally do, but you need to make sure to set up forms, visits, kit types, and the dispensation schedule in a specific way.
- When you design forms, make sure that the question(s) you will use to calculate doses are required numeric questions, such as a Number or Age question.
- Add required forms to each visit. The required forms depend
on the how you will set up your calculated dose. For example, consider a scenario
where the calculated dose is based on a subject's weight:
- If you collect a weight value in every dispensation visit, and you want the calculation to use a subject's answer in the current visit, every dispensation visit must have a form with the weight question.
- On the other hand, if you collect a weight value only during the randomization visit, and you want the calculation to use the same weight value throughout the study, the form with the weight question has to be only in the randomization visit.
Tip:
If you don't add forms to visits as required for the calculated doses, Oracle Clinical One Platform will prompt you about adding the forms when you define the dispensation schedule. - While creating kit types, select Yes for the Calculating Doses field, and then define one or more dosing calculations for each kit type.
- While defining the dispensation schedule, choose a calculated dose
for each visit that requires it.
If the calculated dose you choose requires forms to be added to the visit, Oracle Clinical One Platform will add the forms for you after confirming that it's okay.
