Patient and Study Information

Introduction

Synapse supports the patient demographics and study information that is used in both the default reports (also known as base reports) and Advanced Reporting reports. Because Synapse executes advanced reports separately; the report content is configurable. It is important to understand the handling procedures of data shared by the Synapse and Clinical Reporting Application (CRA).  

The following table describes the shared demographic information. You can only edit this information in Synapse using the Edit Patient dialog box.
