Data validation refers to the process of ensuring the accuracy, reliability, and integrity of CRF data collected during the study. It involves a series of checks and procedures that aim to identify and resolve data inconsistencies. The importance of data validation lies in its role in maintaining the scientific validity and credibility of the study results. By ensuring the quality of the data, researchers can have confidence in the findings and draw accurate conclusions, which ultimately impacts patient safety and the decision-making process for regulatory authorities.
The summary and details of all queries that have been opened as a result of data validation are stored on the Validation Query page. Within this page, there is the Validation Query Summary tab that contains the list of query topics upon which the queries have been opened. Here you can view the number of open, closed, and answered queries as their status can change with each data validation execution.
