Which version of a Da Vinci implementation guide is actually the version CMS is asking you to ship? If you have opened the CMS-0057-F final rule text and then opened the HL7 Da Vinci pages the same afternoon, you already know the answer…

Decentralized trials need form tools that hold up far from the controlled environment of an investigator site: variable network, mixed device classes, and subjects working with less hand-holding than a site coordinator can give. The list of

Where the form engine lives is a quieter question than which engine to pick, but it usually has more impact on a study's operational reality. A sponsor-hosted engine gives one team control of every byte of trial data; a site-hosted engine p

Adaptive trials are where most SDC form builders quietly fall over. A protocol that branches by interim analysis or response-adaptive randomization needs forms that can change mid-study without breaking historical data. That sounds simple i

Electronic consent is the part of a trial where regulatory rigor and patient experience collide most visibly. The consent form has to be readable on a phone, signed in a way that holds up under FDA inspection, and round-tripped into the tri

A patient-reported outcome survey is a deceptively simple-looking artifact: a few Likert items, a couple of free-text fields, maybe a slider. The rendering layer is where the difficulty lives. A renderer that gets PROMIS or EORTC items wron

Most sponsors in 2026 are running on legacy EDC platforms that were modern fifteen years ago: proprietary form definitions, vendor-locked rendering, and CSV exports as the integration point. FHIR Questionnaire is the open alternative, but s

Investigator sites have different needs than sponsor offices. A site coordinator wants a form that loads on a slow tablet in an exam room, captures a visit in five minutes, and survives a network drop without losing the entry. The form engi

Payer-provider programs collecting PROMs for chronic disease populations end up looking at three architecturally different options. Rimidi ships a condition-specific dashboard with baked-in surveys and workflow. Validic ships device…

Electronic patient-reported outcomes are no longer an exotic ePRO bolt-on, they are how most modern studies collect symptom data, quality-of-life scores, and daily diaries. The Questionnaire and QuestionnaireResponse resources cover the mod
