Resultado final

Documents, reports (4)

Report on the status of posting results at the end of the retrospective study Train-METASTRA

Report detailing the status of posting results at the end of the retrospective study (Train-METASTRA)

METASTRA Communication Toolkit

Communication material tailored to target-group, including material for policymakers, and material in layman's language

Midterm recruitment report for Train-METASTRA

It will be generated when 50% of the EHRs will be replicated through the transient loading zone from the primary hospital systems to the AlmaHealthDB servers. It will include an overview of the number of EHRs collected in each clinical site, indicating any problems in the process and measures eventually adopted to compensate for any delays.
