Abstract

Standardising a documentary language makes only sense if we use it for documentation consequently. Using an example of Paediatric Oncology in Germany we have developed a procedure that generates CRFs from a documentary language. The introduced procedure has proved to be feasible in practice. With it we can support developers of documentation systems in creating their CRFs; through the guaranteed use of the documentation terminology we further achieve that information recorded with the created CRFs may be statistically analysed across different institutions.
