Clean study data and resolve discrepancies

How you could use an agent

Use an agent to compare case report forms, source notes, and study records, then draft a clean list of missing or conflicting data points for staff follow-up. It can also log corrections with source references so you have a traceable record of what changed and why.

Where you stay involved

You review the flagged items, decide what needs clarification, and make sure the final study record is accurate. You also bring in the investigator or data lead when a pattern suggests a bigger study problem.

Where you stay involved

You confirm the appointments, make sure the study site can support them, and handle any timing conflict or missing resource. You also keep the subject-facing coordination tied to what the protocol allows.

Check protocol compliance and flag issues

How you could use an agent

Use an agent to review study logs, forms, and protocol notes, then flag entries that look incomplete, off-protocol, or overdue for follow-up. It can organize the issues into a tracker so you can see what needs investigator review.

Where you stay involved

You check the flagged items, decide what should be discussed with the investigator, and keep the study record current. You also escalate serious consent or compliance concerns right away.

O*NET 31.0 · methodology 3.3.0. Every workflow passes an action-level physical-execution and protected human-and-veterinary clinical-action gate. Documentation workflows must own a complete digital loop and use digital task evidence only; support-only workflows are disclosed separately and excluded from scoring. Artistic, editorial, normative, and policy-dependent work receives a transparent human-judgment constraint. National ranking within 923 scored O*NET occupations under methodology 3.3.0.
