Data Review and Coding Module

Data Review and Coding

Upon clicking this button, the system will automatically code the specimen and HPE data

defined keyword dictionary.

Here, CRC’s medical offier willverify the codes that has been

autocoded by the system.They may select one of the following

Options: (1) Verified (2)Recode to another major site code (3)Uncertain (4)Query data

For records that were not autocodedby the system, the reviewer will code

specimen/HPE based on their judgement

The data will be printed out and sent to Expert Panel

Members for verification, review and coding.

In the meantime whilewaiting for data to be

reviewed by EPM, dataManager will resolve queries

arising from patient data.

After data has been received from EPM, data will be entered into the system.

During de-duplication, patients with duplicateRecords will be identified.

1.      To assure the data quality in the database,there should be no duplicate of record

1) SDP Identification, recruitment and initiation

2) Data reporting by SDP & Tracking submission
