Here are some common scenarios and proposed solutions to inputting your budget into OnCore:

There is procedure listed on the budget, but it is not on the OnCore calendar. Shouldn’t it be there?

Only budget procedures that will be invoiceable to the sponsor as a separate line-item on an invoice need to be on the calendar. Budget procedures that are incorporated into the total visit (Milestone) cost and will not be listed separately on the invoice do not need to be included at scheduled visits on the calendar.
Example: Nurse Observation Time is scheduled at the Infusion Visit on Budget, but the cost is included in the Infusion Visit (Milestone) total and the procedure is not invoiceable to the sponsor outside the scheduled visit. Therefore, Nurse Observation Time is not needed on the OnCore Calendar.

The Subject Status Milestone Screen Failed cannot be used, as it allows for only 1 set cost for all screen failures.
For each visit where a subject can screen fail, we can include a duplicate screen fail visit on the calendar. The budget team would set these screen fail visits up as Milestones with the amount the sponsor will pay for each. The coordinator will log the screen fail version of the visit if the subject screen fails at the visit; otherwise, they will log the regular visit and mark the screen fail version of the visit N/A.
Example: There are 2 steps to determining eligibility on a study, so there is a Step 1 Screening Visit and a Step 2 Screening Visit. The sponsor pays $850 for a Screen Failure at Step 1 and $500 plus the cost of the Step 1 Screening Visit for a Screen Failure at Step 2. The OnCore calendar will need the following 4 screening visits: 1) Step 1 Screen, 2) Step 1 Screen Fail, 3) Step 2 Screen, and 4) Step 2 Screen Fail.

The Subject Status Milestone Screen Failed cannot be used, as it allows for only 1 set cost for all screen failures.
In addition to the Screening visit, we would need a Screen Fail visit on the calendar with all the same procedures. The Budget Team would mark all the procedures as Pass Thru at the Screen Fail visit. The coordinator would need to N/A any procedure that did not occur at the Screen Fail visit. The Budget Team would then be able to invoice the sponsor for each procedure that occurred at the Screen Fail Visit.
Example: A study has a screening visit that includes a Chemistry Panel, and EKG and an MRI. A subject can screen fail based on the Chemistry labs alone or can have adequate Chemistry labs, but screen fail based on their EKG results. Once a subject screen fails, they do not need to complete the other procedures required at the Screening visit, so the sponsor only pays for those procedures that actually occurred. Both the Screening and the Screen Fail visit would have the Chemistry panel, EKG and MRI, but the Screening Visit would be invoiceable at the Visit (Milestone) level and the Screen Fail visit would be invoiceable at the procedure level (Pass Thru).

If the budget event is not related to a specific subject then it should be added to the Protocol Related tab. Ex: QoL Survey Training for Coordinators. The sponsor pays for time spent training coordinators on how to administer the QoL survey to subjects on the protocol. The training is not specific to individual subjects, so it should not go on the subject calendar.
If the budget event does not have a set cost and the cost will vary from subject to subject, it may be easier to set this up as a variable Protocol Related Event with a $0 cost and CRA Console Trigger. This would allow the clinical coordinator to enter as a Financial Event along with the subject ID and actual cost in the comments field. The Budget Team would see those comments and update the invoice with the cost and subject ID (if needed).
