Identifying eForms Configured for Ocean Studies

Ocean eForms that are available for use with Ocean Studies are identified by the presence of an icon next to the name of the eForm.

  • The half-filled circle icon indicates that the data is both encrypted for the chart and separated for anonymous 'decision support' (i.e., 'Hybrid' mode).
  • The human icon indicates that the data is not encrypted (except SSL) before being sent to Ocean but is not associated with the rest of the patient's data (i.e., Anonymous Study Data mode).

If an eForm that has been made available for use in an Ocean Study is sent to and completed by patient, but no corresponding Ocean Study has first been created in your Ocean Site, a new Ocean Study will be automatically created and ad-hoc study fees will be incurred by your Ocean Site.

If you wish to use an eForm that has been made available for use in an Ocean study without automatically creating a new Ocean Study and incurring subsequent ad-hoc study fees, follow the steps below:

  1. Access your form's eForm Properties.

    • Open the form in the eForm Editor.
    • Choose "Form Properties" from the Action Menu.
  2. Access the Data Security Mode settings.

    • Navigate to the "Form Memory & Data Storage" tab, locate the "Store form answers as" setting, and disable both checkboxes.
    • Click "OK" to exit out of the "Form Properties" window.
  3. Save the eForm.

    • Click the "Save Changes" at the bottom right corner to prevent your changes from being lost.
    • Your eForm can now be used without automatically creating a new Ocean Study and incurring subsequent ad-hoc study fees.
