System and method for interacting with clinical trial operational data
First Claim
1. A method for interacting with clinical trial operational data using a plurality of shared server interacting applications in a shared server of a shared database system, comprising:
- creating a plurality of tables wherein the tables are organized by clinical trial operational data and each table has predefined data field identifiers stored in a shared database;
receiving at least one operational data from a first shared server interacting application wherein the at least one operational data is collected during a clinical trial;
accessing a first table containing its predefined data field identifiers from the shared database with the first table being identifiable with the at least one operational data;
updating the first table by associating the at least one operational data from the first shared server interacting application with the predefined data field identifiers of the first table;
receiving at least one change in operational data from a second shared server interacting application;
accessing a second table containing its predefined data field identifiers from the shared database with the second table being identifiable with the at least one change in operational data;
updating the second table by associating the at least one change in operational data from the second shared server interacting application with the predefined data field identifiers of the second table; and
interacting with the plurality of shared server interacting applications wherein the plurality of tables with the at least one change in operational data are handled;
wherein the shared database system provides consistent and reusable operational data for the plurality of shared server interacting applications.

Abstract
The current method and system allow sharing and integrating clinical trial operational data for easy accessibility of operational data, reusable predefined field identifiers and operational data for context and tables, and centralized use of operational data for conducting clinical trials based on semantics as well as syntax for consistency. The current system and method manage a plurality of clinical trial-related applications by creating a plurality of tables stored within the shared database of the shared database system for updating and sharing among clinical trials. The tables are logically organized by a plurality of operational data, and each table contains predefined data field identifiers associated with the plurality of operational data. The current system and method configure the plurality of clinical trial-related applications associated with the plurality of operational data as a producer or a consumer of the operational data to maintain consistency among the plurality of clinical trial-related applications without requiring a format to reuse the operational data for different clinical trials. The current system and method provide a centralized clinical trial operational data hub with transactional acknowledgment recording and sequence verification. The current system and method also provide a centralized clinical trial operational data hub with approval workflow, audit trail information, and reporting.
