Yes. Castor CDMS includes a full query management workflow within the Monitoring module, allowing Clinical Research Associates (CRAs) and study monitors to identify, raise, track, and resolve data discrepancies directly within the eCRF.
How Query Management Works
- Raise Queries: Monitors can open data queries on any specific field in a participant's record.
- Respond to Queries: Site staff with data-entry permissions are notified, can view the query within the form, provide explanations, and update values as needed.
- Resolve & Close: Once discrepancies are resolved, the monitor can close the query. All open queries must be resolved before a participant's record can be marked complete.
- Full Audit Trail: All query actions (creation, replies, status changes, and closures) are automatically tracked in the study's time-stamped audit trail.
- Central Overview: Study administrators and monitors can track, filter, and export all open and closed queries across sites via the central Monitoring tab.
Note: Query management requires the Monitoring module to be enabled for your study in Settings > Study Properties.
Note: It not compatible with Retrospective studies.
