Support of form annotations to enable form behavior

Domain Description

A forms curator is sitting down to create the case report forms for a new trial titled "Study of Ad.p53 DC Vaccine and 1-MTin Metastatic Invasive Breast Cancer." Her goal it to make the forms intuitive, reduce human error when collecting data, and as precise as possible. When building the demographics form, she decides to make the age data element derived from the date of birth data element. Entering data that can simply be calculated from other data can only introduce errors, especially since date of birth is also captured in the hospital system so can easily be validated. When building the medical history CRF, she realizes that fifteen of the questions only relate to women that have previously been pregnant. She promptly enters a skip pattern based on the gender question, as well as the pregnancy question. That should significantly save time. Now that all the questions are entered, she goes back to edit them so have minimum lengths for required text questions, maximum lengths for numeric questions, pick-lists for those questions with a particular set of possible answers, and a data mask for the social security number question. Now, the clinical data management system can render the forms via PDF using all of this handy information.
