Integration with Viedoc

Data must be actively pulled from Viedoc from your application, as Viedoc is not able to push data to another system triggered by a certain entry or on a certain schedule. Data pulled from Viedoc will be in CDISC ODM format.

The following applies when pulling data:

  • You will be able to pull all CRF data and its meta data (including current visit windows for a subject).
  • You will need to setup your application to call each site to pull their data.
  • You will not be able to pull data related to our ViedocMe application, such as subject phone numbers and email address. In theory, the sponsor could add email addresses as standard CRF variables so that you can pull them, but a) You would still need to pull data actively and,
    b) It's not likely that the sponsor would accept the solution of capturing such sensitive information in the CRF.

Imports

To import we have the possibility of using our Data Import Application. Imports through the API can also be done in ODM format. The Data Import Application can reside on your or the client's server and your system can drop the files to that server. The application basically converts a csv file to an ODM to import it to Viedoc. In the Viedoc setup, the sponsor would need to map contents in your file to the items in the CRF design so that all data points are mapped correctly.

The following applies for imports:

  • Except for normal variables, there need to be a few specific identifiers so that the data in your file is matching the CRF setup (for example SubjectID, VisitID.)
  • We can setup our import application to allow the imported data to initiate a patient and also to initiate subject visits in the system.
  • As long as forms are not actively locked by the sponsor, new data can be imported an will over-ride previously imported data. Everything audit-trailed of course.
