Observational Protocol Hierarchy

Each observational protocol follows a heirarchy structure. This hierarchical structure involves three different version of a specific protocol.  

The versioning structure is as follows:  

  • Root Protocol – The initial version of the protocol. (e.g., Knee OA PRP)
  • Circle Protocol - A version of the protocol adjusted to the requirements of a particular circle. (e.g., Regen Med Knee OA PRP)
  • Subscriber Protocol – A version of the protocol adjusted to the requirements of a particular user (e.g., John Smith Knee OA PRP)

All parts of a observational protocol can be fully customized. Some common customization request are the following:

  • Add  required surveys to a protocol  
  • Add questions to surveys  
  • Delete unnecessary parts of a protocol
  • Change the scheduling and delegates of surveys.
