How Can Document Management Simplify Your Study?
By Tommy Jackson on January 16, 2020

Streamline data-capture by using Prelude EDC’s built-in documents manager. You can keep all of your data and communications in one, easy-to-navigate place. Not only will assigned users have instant access to communications and updates, but you will be able to track who has viewed or edited what. No more unresponsive team members claiming, “No, I didn’t see that last update!” when really, they just forgot to respond to it (you know who you are).
Simply navigate to the applicable patient or site where you intend to upload a file or attach a note. Typically, the last or second-to-last form under each patient and site is labelled Notes/Comments/Errors or Comments/Errors. Under this file group will be a notes form. This can be used to append documents like medical histories or previous labs results to a specific patient or signed forms to a specific site. Team members can also add short comments as necessary throughout the study. Prelude offers this form group as part of every contract, but it can also be customized to suit your unique study’s needs.
There is also a form where users can upload transcribed CRF’s, making it easier than ever for sites to keep a thorough record of all essential documentation for their subjects. This basic form includes a place to record the date and time uploaded, the name of the electronic version of the form where the data was transcribed, as well as a link to that form within the system, the reason for transcription, and checkbox where the monitor can indicate that they reviewed the transcription. But don’t forget: this form can be customized to include any extra details your study requires.
