Clinical Reporting Solution
Download PDF Overview
Meeting 100% of Your Reporting Requirements
Now you can standardize and automate your clinical reporting process and achieve major process improvements:
  • Save time
  • Reduce operating costs
  • Improve reporting quality
  • Achieve and maintain regulatory compliance
The Clinical Reporting Solution standardizes and automates reporting-Statistical Programmers and Statisticians can quickly and easily build, view, run and store SAS® programs and produce pre-specified standard tables, listings and graphs and nonstandard TLGs.
DataCeutics' Clinical Reporting Solution has data-driven flexibility and is designed to readily accommodate different data structures, including CDISC SDS standards. Data attributes are not coded in the application, but are specified by the system user. Output can be produced in ASCII, PDF, RTF, HTML, XML and Graphics format.
The Clinical Reporting Solution is a complete reporting system consisting of two components:
  • Front-end Report Portal (DRP)
  • Back-end Report Generator (CR Toolkit™)
Front-end Report Portal (DRP™)
The thin-client, server-based, HTML and SAS application provides users with an easy to use
front end. Users log in, select a project and a study within the project. Study selection activates the study functions. Functions include:
  • Selecting data files and creating data subsets that can be used in reports
  • Building and saving SAS report programs
  • Executing the SAS programs to generate reports
  • Viewing and downloading the SAS source files, log files and report output on the user's workstation   
  • Managing files includes deleting and archiving files, audit trail to track the life of a SAS program, moving SAS programs from development to production, modifying report titles and footnotes, viewing and managing subsets, and reviewing the status of a study
Additional DRP features:
  • Enforces a 21 CFR Part 11 compliant SAS programming environment
  • Management of a development/production SAS programming environment
  • Application level security to control access at a project level
  • Server-based application requiring only a web browser, i.e., SAS is not required on the client
  • Generates one stand-alone SAS program for each listing, summary table, in-text table or graphic. The SAS programs can then be executed on other platforms
  • Allows for the inclusion of custom SAS programs into the work flow
  • Leverages current reporting software or commercially available reporting software
  • Provides support for multiple output formats, (e.g., ASCII, HTML, RTF, PDF, XML) through full support of the SAS Output Delivery System
  • Centralizes management of project/study meta data (e.g., titles, footnotes, report registration data)
  • Allows report titles and footnotes to be defaulted and modified
Custom Report Templates
Your reporting needs are satisfied through the Customizable Report Templates component of the DRP. Report Templates are SAS programs. They generate user-friendly selection screens that less experienced SAS users can use to produce stand-alone SAS report programs. The Build Templates are used to configure your standard reports with various user defined selections. The Report Templates can produce both standard Tables, Listings and Graphics (TLGs) and nonstandard TLGs. The DRP is delivered with several pre-configured Report Templates. 
The default Report Templates can be configured by the in-house SAS programming team to create Build Templates that completely fit your report generation needs.
Back-end Report Generator (CR Toolkit™)
The DRP acts as a user interface to the CR Toolkit, the report generation software is stored on the SAS server. Via the DRP thin-client user interface, the CR Toolkit produces the reports that are included in regulatory submissions. The CR Toolkit is a comprehensive set of SAS macros that quickly and easily generate reports, tables, listings and graphs. Data-driven tools provide automated formatting of output based on the data submitted.
