When the Clinical Affairs group looked for a better method of entering data, they realized it was important to find an application that worked well with FACSys. TELE form , from Cardiff Software, Inc. located in San Marcos, California, is an automated data collection forms processing solution. The Gen-Probe staff use forms specifically designed for them by Cardiff. When complete, the form is sent back to headquarters via fax. When the faxed clinical trial form is received by FACSys, TELE form automatically receives it and processes it.
Any verification needed is done to make sure all information fields are filled out correctly.
No manual scanning or data entry by employees is required within this new seamlessly integrated system. The data from the clinical trials is automatically entered into and stored in the Microsoft SQL Database. Once in this database, data analysis can be performed. Information is run through various filters for the statistics required by the FDA for approval. Analysts are able to use a variety of tools to create final test data reports.
