BC|SAMPLE and BC|CLIN - Solutions to the common challenges in Patient Sample Management

Combining BC|SAMPLE and BC|CLIN on the same, interacting platform brings out the best of both worlds, and provides a new level of flexibility and accuracy to the management of patient samples and clinical data.

Challenge	Solution
For the PI, it can be challenging to follow the progress of patient recruitment and data collection.	The combination platform brings interactivity between the sample information and clinical data. It is easier to follow the changes in the sample storage and sample processing per patient or per project.
Tracking the sample history and the origin of analysis data can be difficult.	The patient sample management has a full log-file functionality and possibility for full audit trail. Sample processing can be recorded and back-tracked.
Mistakes and typing errors may occur during sample recording. Samples may become dissociated from the respective patient data.	BC|CLIN and BC|SAMPLE bring their own data checking functions and provide the possibility for semi-automated data creation and recording, which decreases the possibility for human error in the data entry process.
Clinical and genetic study data is separated from the sample data, and handled by different people.	With BC|SAMPLE and BC|CLIN it is possible to completely separate sample and research data from each other, and control the access to these data separately. Different user profiles can be used to provide access to different parts of the data. It is also possible to create access rules within single data tables, which allows for even more detailed control over access and security.
