| | 9 | - OpenClinica allows you to define sets of study data to be entered by clinicians. |
| | 10 | - The definitions are recorded in Excel spreadsheets and are version controlled. So that when data is extracted you can tell the particular version of a question the clinician was asked and what options they were give. |
| | 11 | - Data can be entered manually into OpenClinica? or it can be imported from a spreadsheet. |
| | 12 | - The import process requires you to map the column in the spreadsheet to a particular version of a question in a CRF. (In the demonstration the column in the spreadsheet was renamed to be specific question ID from the CRF XML definition. I don't know if this is necessary or helps with the mapping.) The mapping can then be saved and reused with many spreadsheets. |
| | 13 | - Importing seems to be done in 2 stages. The first stage takes the input file and converts it to several mapped files. (So as not to be too large?) The mapped files are then imported. |
