Review domains prepared for coding

In the CODING application, you can examine which domains—associated with your coding batches—are prepared for the coding process, including what variables they contain, from which dictionaries these variables are derived, and what are their current statuses. By reviewing this data, you can confirm that the necessary domains are ready for processing and take appropriate actions to ensure a smooth coding flow.

To review domains prepared for coding

  1. In the Medical Coding application header, select the BATCH tab.

  2. In the Batch List table that appears, go to the coding batch, which domains you want to review, and select upload_button_blue.png next to it.

  3. On the Domain List page that opens, in the table, review a list of domains prepared for coding, as explained in the following table.

    Column

    Details

    Domain

    Represents the domain associated with the medical coding data, such as "AE" for adverse events or "CM" for concomitant medications.

    The domains you see in this table depend on how the batch was created, as follows.

    Data File

    Displays a link to the file containing verbatim terms (VTs) uploaded to the domain. You can select this link to download the file for further offline usage. The column is blank if no files have been uploaded yet.

    This column is not available for batches created using EDC import, as the data is automatically populated from the EDC system.

    Variable

    Displays the specific variables within the domain that must be coded.

    For example, "AETERM" (Adverse Event Term) with the label "MedDRA" or "CMTRT" (Concomitant Medication Treatment) with the label "WHODrug." These variables represent the data elements requiring medical coding.

    Status

    Indicates the current stage of the domain in the coding process:

After reviewing the domains prepared for coding, you can ensure that all necessary data is ready for the coding process, allowing you to make informed decisions and take the appropriate actions for effective coding management.

A specific area or category of data within a clinical trial that encompasses a set of related variables that share a common theme. Each domain organizes data to facilitate analysis and reporting, ensuring that information is structured and easily interpretable.

For example, in a clinical trial, domains might include demographics, efficacy, safety, and laboratory results.

A collection of verbatim terms (VTs) grouped together for the purpose of medical coding. Each batch is created to streamline the coding process, allowing multiple VTs to be processed simultaneously.

An individual piece of data collected within a domain. It represents a specific attribute or characteristic that can vary among subjects in a study. Each variable is defined by its format (such as categorical, continuous, and so on) and plays a crucial role in data analysis, allowing researchers to assess relationships and outcomes in the study.

For instance, within the "Demographics" domain, variables might include "Age," "Gender," and "Ethnicity."

An eClinical application that provides functionality to design and configure a study (clinical trial), namely to configure CRFs, set subject phases, visits, and others.

The application supports the design of the CDSIC ODM-compliant electronic CRFs to support EDC and eDiary data collection and management.

In Pharmacovigilance, a common term used by the AE/SAE case reporter to describe the patient's condition, symptoms, and other details. In ICSR, the verbatim terms are coded (translated) into standardized preferred terms to meet the regulatory requirements.
