Resource Profile: ParticipantFlowReport

Profile of Composition for Evidence Based Medicine IG. The ParticipantFlowReport Profile is used for an evidence report including the counts (and proportions) for any number of participant flow measures in a research study. For example, the ParticipantFlowReport may include the data for a CONSORT Participant Flow Diagram reported with a randomized controlled trial.

Usage:

• This Resource Profile is not used by any profiles in this Implementation Guide
