Reduce Programming time with Reusable Templates
Cathal Gallagher · 2014
Having validated programming templates for raw CRF data to SDTM domains and from SDTM domains to ADaM can save huge amounts of programming time. There are very few study specific variables, most are standard, and therefore can be pre-programmed and validated into a template. Simply add your raw CRF data to a template, add the code for study specific variables if there are any and run. Having these fully validated templates allows you to add your data and run the job in minutes. Having only the study specific variables left to validate results in minimal re work. Using CDI templates, snapshots can be run at any time with no programming required. This paper discusses the flow of data from raw data to an SDTM, to an ADaM standard and how templates facilitate that flow.
