Business definition of Monitoring Visit — site monitoring reports, findings, and approval workflows.

What it is

The Monitoring Visit module supports end-to-end site monitoring visit reporting — from configuring visit types and CRF mappings, through report authoring and findings capture, to reviewer and sponsor approval workflows.

CRA / MonitorPlan visits, author monitoring reports, log findings
ReviewerReview and approve monitoring reports
SponsorFinal approval and oversight of site monitoring activities
Study AdministratorConfigure visit types, recipients, and site branches

Key capabilities

  • Visit type and CRF mapping configuration
  • Dashboard counters for report workload by site and visit type
  • Report lifecycle with audit-ready status transitions
  • Cross-role handoff between Monitor, Reviewer, and Sponsor
  • Findings & Issues management — track and resolve monitoring observations
  • Protocol deviations & SAEs — linked read-only matrices per visit
  • Close-out visit workflow — structured site close-out with checklist

Findings, CAPA & Issue Resolution

Monitoring visits often identify issues that require corrective action. The Monitoring Visit module supports a full CAPA (Corrective and Preventive Action) workflow:

  1. Identify — CRA creates an Issue during report authoring (with type, level, category)
  2. Document — Original Action recorded at creation
  3. Assign — Issue linked to specific report section/division
  4. Resolve — Updated Action and Resolution Date entered
  5. Close — Issue marked Completed
  6. Reopen — Closed issues can be reopened if follow-up is needed
