Introduction

OpenClinica (OC) is world's leading open source solution for EDC (electronic data collection). Both the solutions provides complimentary benefits to research centers. OC is used to collect data for clinical studies and OpenSpecimen (OS) is used for biospecimen collection for the same study.

Goals of the integration

  1. Reduce manual data entry and thereby save data time and human errors
  2. Link data points between OS and OC (E.g. studies, participants, visits)
  3. Use OpenSpecimen's query interface to look for samples based on OC and OS

Integration points

OpenClinica

Description

Collection Protocol

Study

In OpenSpecimen CP UI, it should be possible to configure which OC study does it link with.

Participant

Subject

An OpenClinica subject should get registered as OS participant under the linked collection protocol. The OC "subject ID" should be used as OS "PPID".

 Visit

Visit 

An OC Visit should get added as Visit in OS under the same participant. 

Forms

CRF

Every CRF under the OC study should get replicated as OS "forms". These will be "read only" and to be used only for reporting i.e. query for samples based on biospecimen data and clinical study data.

Important notes

Error handling:

Study and Site link

Patient and visit link

CRF syncing

 

All the OC CRFs should be available within OS reporting module for querying for specimens.
