Edit additional ID
In a clinical trial, unique identifiers (IDs) are used to identify trial participants, protecting their personal information and maintaining confidentiality.
In EDC, you can configure the unique ID parameters for your study subjects depending on your requirements. Different studies can have one or multiple IDs for their subjects during a trial. Multiple IDs might be required if you want your subjects to receive new specific identifiers when passing through the trial phases.
For instance, you want two different IDs to be assigned to the subjects of your trial, depending on the phases that they pass: registration or enrollment. Thus, you can configure the following: Pre-screening ID for registered applicants and Subject ID for enrolled study subjects.
Once the additional IDs are configured for your study, you might need to make some changes to the, for instance, edit the ID elements or some other details.
-
In the EDC application header, select the STUDY INFO tab.
-
