From the point of installation, MACRO offers deployment flexibility through both offline and online data collection, intuitive drag-and-drop study design tools and integrated decision support – helping your organisation succeed in an increasingly complex clinical environment.
Designing Electronic Case Report Forms
- MACRO’s intuitive drag-and-drop tools for eCRF creation reduce study design time and provide complete control over eCRF layout - from question positioning to font sizes and colours - ensuring that eCRFs are comparable to paper equivalents.
- Grant study designers the freedom to create and test studies on their local machines with offline study design - MACRO’s ‘one-click’ study export removes the need for direct connection to the server during eCRF creation.
- Create multiple laboratories for each study including detailed
- Accelerate future form design by storing commonly used questions and whole eCRFs in the drag-and-drop MACRO Library.
Integrated decision support technology – delivering the future of clinical software
InferMed’s award winning technology,
- Independent activation of specific questions, forms or complete treatment visits based on multi-clause conditions.
- Integrated protocol guidance helps to ensure “the right treatment for the right patient” and provides investigators with real-time advice and best practice guidelines for the treatment of each individual trial subject.
- Comprehensive cross-form and cross-visit edit checks improve data consistency first time.
Data Entry
- Offline and online data entry options ensure that each data entry site receives the best solution for their infrastructure and environment.
- Easy to use interface allows both occasional and frequent users to navigate between eCRFs and fulfil clinical roles with minimal interruption.
- Field-to-field edit checks evaluate data for each question at the very moment it is entered – providing clear, real-time feedback to the user and reducing data entry time over ‘end-of-form’ validation systems.
- Store subject-specific documentation such as consent forms, medical scans and photos by attaching multimedia files to each subject.
Data Monitoring
- MACRO's bi-directional communication tools help users manage discrepancies electronically and via paper printout, conduct source data verification and improve communication within the study team.
- Conduct data management activities such as data locking and source data verification to fit your processes - directly on the central server or from each site machine.
- Instantly retrieve current or previous responses using MACRO’s comprehensive data search with combinable filters such as username, time period, question name and visit status.
Data Export
- Deliver data exports for statisticians in a variety of formats including CSV, SAS®, Microsoft Access® and STATA®. Trial data can be exported as a whole or in bespoke subsets.
- Transform trial data into PDF documents for archival and CD storage once database lock has been achieved.
External Integration
MACRO’s open architecture allows it to fit into your existing environment and operate in harmony with other systems including existing databases, hospital information systems and on-line randomisation servers.
- Load subject data from external systems into MACRO with a simple comma separated file format.
- Automatically trigger the creation of new subjects in MACRO from external applications such as randomisation servers and laboratory systems via the MACRO API.
- Integrate existing Oracle Clinical® databases with MACRO through the only independent EDC system that can be fully integrated with Oracle Clinical®.
Integrated Modular Suite
MACRO’s fully integrated module structure reduces complexity for end-users and increases system security by streamlining access to only the application areas required for each individual’s clinical role.
Regulatory Compliance
MACRO has been designed to support the requirements of internationally recognised ICH Good Clinical Practice and FDA 21 CFR Part 11.
