Oracle Health Sciences Central Coding

Oracle Health Sciences Central Coding is customizable, multilingual, Web-based coding and dictionary management software that can help alleviate the challenge of coding medical terms across clinical trial studies, regions, and languages. It provides greater efficiencies through coding process automation and is optimized to work with the Oracle Health Sciences GTM solution, Oracle’s industry-leading electronic data capture product, and the Oracle Health Sciences Clinitrial data management system.

Streamlines the coding process, increases coding consistency, and potentially drives down costs by allowing cross-trial coding and effectively managing multiple dictionaries and dictionary versions
Provides sponsors and clinical research organizations with a centralized means to code, review, resolve, and approve terms—all of which can happen simultaneously across staff, sites, trials, and locations
Enables clinical study sponsors to change the version of the dictionary that the study is coded against when a new version of a dictionary becomes available
Provides impact analysis features that allows medical teams to view dictionary changes, evaluate the impact on study data, and reconcile any differences to existing terms, codes and synonyms
