This year it’s all about opening doors to data so you can get your job done easier, faster and better than ever. We’ll spend our time together working directly in OC4: creating studies, building and optimizing forms, and getting comfortable with all the new features, enhancements and functionality you’ve come to expect from us.

In addition to our world-class training professionals and company leadership, we’re offering special sessions created by customers for customers. Back by popular demand, the main conference offers two programming tracks to expand your choices and best match educational experiences with your skill level and interests.

Join us for two, three or five days packed with hands-on learning. Topics include:

  • Capture and use multiple new data sources including real-world data
  • Automate source data capture
  • Best practices for study design
  • Migrate data mid-study
  • Data imports and transformation
  • Understand impact of new technologies like SMART on FHIR
  • Cross-form logic and Xpaths
  • Image adjudication
  • Annotated eCRFs
  • Dynamic Defaults
  • Calculations and functions in your forms
  • Risk-based monitoring
  • eConsent

Workshops

Wednesday, 17 May, 8:00 am – 3:30 pm

Workshop One: The Art of the Possible: Insight Dashboards & Reporting

In this full-day workshop you will dive into the best-kept secrets of our Insights module. You’ll learn how to take full advantage of built-in reporting and dashboard creation to get your job done easier, faster and more accurately than ever before. It’s past time to ditch spreadsheet reporting and let purpose-built technology do the heavy lifting for you.

Suitable for: All skill levels

Learning objective: You’ll walk away knowing:

    • What data are in Insight and how they are organized
    • Where to find key data reports across: clinical data, statuses, summary-level study information, SDV, Queries and audit logs
    • How to build and use both basic and advanced visualizations using built-in tools
    • How to build dashboards for yourself and external stakeholders
    • What the basics of relational databases are and their value to Insight success
    • How to combine data from different tables
    • What SQL is, how to craft SQL queries, and which built-in tools help you work with SQL in Insight

We’ll also explore advanced Insight capabilities such as embedded reporting on PDP, Participate or third-party apps; segments and metrics; URL generation for linking to OC pages.

Workshop Two: Advanced Form Building & Logic Calculations

Are you ready to take your OpenClinica form-building skills to the next level? This full-day workshop will cover best practices for creating eCRFs and advanced XPath calculations to help you optimize your study efficiency and data quality. In a step-by-step process, you will add new techniques and skills across key form concepts. We’ll explore guiding principles of study design; design roles and responsibilities, how to create libraries, manage timelines, develop time-saving cross-form calculations, and how to test your study design process before implementation.

Suitable for: Intermediate form builders

Learning objective: You’ll walk away knowing:

    • How to improve data quality with form design best practices and study build methodologies
    • How to improve data reliability through cross form calculations and error checking methods
    • How to use complex calculations to process, move, and reuse data for skip logic and edit checks
    • When and how to use XPath expressions
    • How to add filters to your expressions to target specific datasets based on user entered data

We’ll also focus on developing the problem-solving skills you need to walk through any form-building challenge.
