Glossary of CASIC Builder Terms
| Study Record |
In the system's hierarchy, a study record is at the top. Assessments,
study subjects, lab test values, and response data are all associated with
specific study records. CASIC Builder users are granted permission to access
specific studies. When used with CASIC Remote™, Remote systems are
provided with study subscriptions. |
| Instrument |
We use the terms questionnaire and instrument interchangeably. |
| Assessment |
An assessment is composed from one or more questionnaires. A study design
consists of one or more assessments. Crossover studies are supported -
each arm of a study may have different assessments. |
