With the Super Abstractor Dashboard, you can create custom searches that enable you to track the progress of, and process, clinical trials. The PA application displays the abstraction dashboard automatically each time you log in. It has the following tabbed pages:
- Workload page - Lists trials that require processing and sorts them by the date on which abstraction should be complete. From this page, you can change the Expected Abstraction Completion Date for a trial.
- Counts page - This page displays various trial count panels for your reference.
- Search Criteria page - Enables you to search for trials by the criteria you specify.
- Results page - Displays the results of your search, in order of priority, from High (1) to Low (3). PA displays this page only after you have conducted a search.
- Details page - PA displays this page only after you have selected a trial from the Workload or Results page. Provides details of any trial you select from the Workload page or Results page, and links to the Trial Identification page, where you can do the following:
- Assign trials to specific abstractors
- Set trial processing priorities
- Enter trial processing comments
- Check in and check out trials for processing
- Review the trial's check-out history
- Begin your abstraction
- Download the Trial Summary Report (TSR)
For details on each dashboard page, refer to the following instructions:
