OpenClinica Features

OpenClinica EDC lets teams build studies using drag-and-drop tools or pre-loaded CDASH templates and publish them in hours. Real-time edit checks catch data errors the moment they happen, reducing data queries by up to 50%.

The eCOA module gives patients a mobile-friendly way to report outcomes directly without clinic visits. Automated reminders go out to keep compliance rates up, and the forms are designed to be clear and approachable so patients actually complete them. The data feeds directly into the study database without manual re-entry, reducing the chance of transcription errors.

OpenClinica login handles participant consent through a fully digital workflow that supports remote, in-person, or mixed delivery. Consent forms can include multimedia elements and comprehension checks. Electronic signatures are captured securely, and automated notifications go out when reconsent is needed.

The reporting and analytics module gives every stakeholder a real-time view of where the study stands, from enrollment numbers to query counts to site performance. Dashboards are customizable, so each team sees the data that matters to their role, and reports can be exported when deeper analysis is needed outside the platform.

OpenClinica Recruit targets the right patient populations using precision outreach tools, smart pre-screening, and real-time analytics to keep enrollment on track. Pre-screening logic is built around the study’s own eligibility criteria, so site coordinators spend less time reviewing ineligible candidates.
