Planned Clinical Study Activity
Definition 1
Any activity specified in a clinical study protocol that is anticipated to be performed during the execution of the study. (NCI Thesaurus)
Definition 2
An activity that is intended to occur or start at some point in the context of a particular study. EXAMPLE(S): Pregnancy tests are planned for StudySubjects who are females of childbearing potential. NOTE(S): A PlannedActivity may be a container of other activities and have a complex structure involving components, options and contingencies using the associated relationship classes. This structure allows BRIDG 3.0 to represent concepts in previous versions of BRIDG such as StudyCells, StudySegments and StudySubjectEncounters. A PlannedActivity could also be thought of as an activity at a particular stage in the business process in which the activities occur, i.e., in the "planned" stage rather than the "scheduled" stage or the "performed" stage. An instance of a planned activity is not assigned to a particular StudySubject, but to a "kind of" StudySubject. (NCI Thesaurus/BRIDG)
