# Accelerated Data Change Requests – Compliance Made Effortless

**Managing data edits shouldn’t be a manual burden. This update introduces automated safeguards that keep your study data accurate, auditable, and compliant—without slowing you down.**

## Here's What's New at a Glance:

#### Accelerated DCR Creation

Whenever you edit, deactivate, or add data, the system now generates a Data Change Request (DCR) automatically—no extra steps required.

#### Pre-Populated Details

Each DCR includes context-specific information such as previous and new values, reason for change, user credentials, and timestamps.

#### Audit-Ready Workflow

Once you sign off using your Clario Global Account credentials, the DCR closes automatically, and all actions are logged for full traceability.

#### Structured Change History

Every update is captured in the DCR history with clear descriptions, ensuring compliance with study protocols and regulatory standards.

  

## Let's Dive Deeper Into These Updates

### More Control, Less Waiting

Previously, any data change required a formal Data Change Request (DCR) handled by Clario’s Data Management team—adding time and complexity. Now, site users can make certain changes themselves, directly in context, without leaving the dashboard.

### Three Permission Modes

- **Direct Edit (Self-Service)**: Site users can edit and save data immediately—ideal for studies that prioritize speed and trust site-level control.
- **Submit for Review**: Changes are held in a pending state until approved by a designated reviewer. Reviewers can approve, reject, or query for clarification.
- **By Request Only**: Site users submit a formal request; changes are applied manually after review.

### How It Works

1. **Navigate to the participant or form** where the change is needed.
2. **Make your edit,** provide a reason, and sign off using your Clario Global Account credentials.
3. **The system auto-generates a DCR,** logs all details, and applies the configured workflow (immediate, pending, or request-only).
4. Users can **submission status and cancel requests** if needed—cancellations require a reason and are logged for compliance.

### Compliance Built In

- Every change is **pre-populated with context** (study, site, participant, form).
- **Electronic sign-off** ensures 21 CFR Part 11 compliance.
- Full **audit trail** with timestamps, user IDs, and version history.

  

## Why It Matters

The flexibility of self-service DCRs empowers clinicians—something we heard repeatedly during on-site visits and user research. This means:

- **Faster Resolutions**: No waiting for Data Management approval for routine changes.
- **Greater Flexibility**: Handle updates when they’re needed, without breaking workflow.
- **Full Compliance**: Every change is tracked and auditable, meeting regulatory standards.
