A Patient Management Report is a configurable application specific report used to evaluate each patient’s status relative to the completion of each study visit in a study calendar. The Patient Management Report will be named based on the recordName setting on the Application Setup worksheet in the DataArchitect, for example, this report could be called Subject Management Report.

A study specific Patient Management Report can be configured by incorporating visit evaluation ‘statuses’ based on pre-defined criteria associated with Visit Schedule ‘relatives’ in the App Properties worksheet. Each status can be configured to represent different aspects or stages of completion relative to the study schedule. By creating status relationships for each relative an entire Patient Management Report can be created.

It is highly suggested that you review the relatives information provided in the Visit Schedule Guide to assist you in building the properties to create this report.


A status property is identified in the Name column (column A) of the Properties Worksheet. Each identified relative status is defined in the Value column (column B). The following represent the properties used to create a Patient Management Report:

Status Properties

For all metadata statuses that will be referenced in the report the property must be set to ‘true’. Lists of the properties are:

PropertyDefinitionOptions

relative#Question

Defines the relationship to an absolute property in an application. The relative question shall be added to identify the record in the report.

  • PrimaryName
  • SecondaryName
  • ToolName

statusName#

Defines the display text associated with a status. Common statusNames are as follows however these can be anything the client would like:

  • Off Study
  • Signed
  • Reviewed
  • Not Done
  • Qualified
  • Problem

statusColor#

Defines the background and text colors of the report cells. Values are comma delimited (the first color is the background, the second is the text). The color options are Aqua, Black, Blue, Fuchsia, Gray, Green, Lime, Maroon, Navy, Olive, Purple, Red, Silver, Teal, White, and Yellow.

Common examples of color options:

  • Lime,Black
  • Blue,White
  • Yellow,Black
  • Green,White
  • Red,White

status#

Defines the functionality of each status.

  • Each status can be further defined at a ‘relative’ level (visit level)
  • There is no limit to the number of statuses in a report
  • The # represents the priority level of the evaluation criteria
    • The lowest number takes priority
    • All reports must have a status0

Status Terms

Each status will be defined using the expression language. Status expressions will commonly evaluate the metadata statuses associated with each patient’s visit. The following are examples of common status evaluation expressions:

TypeValue
PI SignaturesignedStatus == ‘yes’
Lock StatuslockStatus == ‘locked’
Freeze StatusfreezeStatus == ‘frozen’
SDV StatusvalidationStatus == ‘yes’
Alert StatusviolationStatus == ‘clean’
violationStatus == ‘violation’
violationStatus == ‘alertOpenOverride’
Query StatusqueryStatus == ‘clean’
Data Review StatusdataReviewStatus==’reviewed’
Container EvaluationCHILDFORMS_ANSWERSTATUS_NOTBLANK=true
Note: the CHILDFORMS only has one equal sign (=) and not two (==) and it does not have ” around the true variables, like the other expressions.


Creating Status Expressions

Each status will be defined at a report level with a status# definition or at a ‘relative’ level in direct association with a Visit Schedule relative. If a status is defined at the status# definition it will not be defined at a relative level. If a status needs to be defined at a relative level, it will be represented by ‘false’ on the status# definition level.

Statuses may need to be defined at a relative level if there are variations of the possible status based on specific form content such as a specific date reference.

Expressions Defined At a Status# Level

The following are examples of common status# defined expressions:

StatusExpressionIntent
PI SignaturesignedStatus == ‘yes’ AND validationStatus == ‘yes’ AND queryStatus == ‘clean’ AND freezeStatus == ‘frozen’This expression verifies the container is signed by the Investigator, the forms are SDV and Frozen and that there are no open queries.
VerifiedvalidationStatus == ‘yes’ AND queryStatus == ‘clean’ AND freezeStatus == ‘frozen’This expression verifies that the forms are SDV and frozen and that there are no open queries.
ProblemviolationStatus == ‘violation’ OR violationStatus == ‘alertOpenOverride’ OR queryStatus != ‘clean’This expression verifies that there are no alerts (with or without a Reason for Override) and there are no open queries.

Note for CHILDFORMS the AND/OR are not used, a comma is.

These expressions will be defined at an overall status level. These properties will appear as follows in the App Properties worksheet:

NameValue
statusName0Problem
statusColor0Red,White
status0violationStatus == ‘violation’ OR violationStatus == ‘alertOpenOverride’ OR queryStatus != ‘clean’
statusName1Signed
statusColor1Lime,Black
status1signedStatus == ‘yes’ AND validationStatus == ‘yes’ AND queryStatus == ‘clean’ AND freezeStatus == ‘frozen’
statusName2Reviewed
statusColor2Blue,White
status2validationStatus == ‘yes’ AND queryStatus == ‘clean’ AND freezeStatus == ‘frozen’
statusName3Not Done
statusColor3Yellow,Black
status3false
statusName4Qualified
statusColor4Green,White
status4false
Note: status3 and status4 will need to be defined at each relative level status because they are defined false at the status level.


Relative MetaData

For each relative defined a relative#MetaData status must be defined to identify where the statuses should be evaluated.

relative#MetaData

Defines the primary point of orientation for the status. This must be an absolute path to a form summary from the application.

Expressions Defined At A Relative Level

The following are examples of common ‘relative’ status related expressions:

 

StatusExpressionIntent
Qualified/Complete#stage1.screening.demo.demodt != ” AND violationStatus != ‘violation’, violationStatus != ‘alertOpenOverride’, CHILDFORMS_ANSWERSTATUS_NOTBLANK = true, queryStatus == ‘clean’This expression evaluates the visit date of the demographics form. This date field must not be empty for the visit to be considered Qualified/Complete. It also checks to verify that there are no alerts without a reason for override, that there are no open queries and that the child form statuses are not blank (they must be in progress or completed).
Not Done#stage1.screening.demo.demodt == ” AND #stage1.screening.demo.notdone == ‘yes’This expression verifies that the visit date of the demographics form is blank and that the not done question is answered yes.


These expressions will be integrated into the visit schedule relatives and will appear as follows:

NameValue
relative3#stage1.screening.demo.demodt
relative3NameScreening
relative3Baseline#stage1.screening.demo.demodt
relative3MetaData#stage1.screening.demo
relative3Status3#stage1.screening.demo.demodt == ” AND #stage1.screening.demo.notdone == ‘yes’
relative3Status4#stage1.screening.demo.demodt != ” AND violationStatus != ‘violation’, violationStatus != ‘alertOpenOverride’, CHILDFORMS_ANSWERSTATUS_NOTBLANK = true, queryStatus == ‘clean’
