Source documents A patient’s blood pressure reading is recorded in a clinic notebook. Trace its correct journey through the data flow. Source document → CRF/eCRF → Database → Validation/Cleaning → Analysis dataset → Report List examples of a source document Laboratory reports, Participant diaries, Clinic notes Which stage ensures data are transformed and ready for statistical use? Data cleaning and transformation Who is primarily responsible for ensuring traceability between source documents and database entries? Clinical Data Manager Which stage in the data flow is MOST responsible for structuring raw clinical information into protocol-relevant variables? CRFs/eCRFs Why is each transition point in the data flow considered a risk point? Because data may be altered, lost, misinterpreted, or incorrectly transferred at each stage, affecting overall quality. Previous Lesson Next Step
