Understand the Form Revision Process Objectives Understand the Form Revision Process Review 2019 Revisions Objectives Review the form revision process- there are have been changes since the last form revision talk in 2017 Take a look at the big changes coming in 2019
The Form Revision Process Let’s start with the form revision process and the steps involved Form revision is a complicated process. From the last time form revision was presented here, we completed a process improvement project that reviewed the process from start to finish and streamlined parts where we could. The result took us from a 22+ week process down to 12 weeks. AML/ALL vs LYM
The form revision process Step 1 Plan Prepare Revise Review Approve Release The form revision process The first step is to plan
Plan Why revise a form? Time since last revision Upcoming studies Updates or resolving issues Updates from WHO Requests from staff or centers Every good process starts with planning. To determine which forms should be revised, we look at several factors: how long it’s been since the last revision, which forms may be utilized by upcoming studies, necessary updates of things that we know are out of date or new practices or resolving known issues, if disease classification updates from WHO and we take requests from staff or centers.
Plan Create a Roadmap Form Revision Core Team Obtain approval Draft proposed schedule Obtain approval Scientific directors and senior leaders review and approve Be flexible! allow wiggle room for critical revisions, or new priority forms Our form revision core team then creates a roadmap. The core team consists of the form revision product owners, data ops directors and a scientific director, who meets weekly. At one of those meetings, we will draft the schedule for the next year of form revisions. This roadmap is presented to the scientific directors and senior leaders for review and approval. There is always flexibility built in to allow for unforeseen critical revisions or new form creation that takes priority.

Prepare Announce revisions to the network Volunteer! Includes scientific directors and centers Volunteer! Send form change suggestions Meet with scientific director of working committee After we have the roadmap, the work begins on the next form on the list8. An announcement will be sent to all of CIBMTR and the network announcing that revisions are beginning. We ask for volunteers and suggestions at this time. We also meet with the scientific director of the working committee who will be leading the meetings. Get their input and suggestions.
The form revision process Plan Prepare Step 3 Revise Review Approve Release The form revision process
Revise Initial Review Committee (IRC) Consists of field expert physicians, subject matter experts (SME), data managers, CIBMTR staff and other individuals Weekly Meetings (4 weeks, 2 hours) review the form(s) top to bottom, question by question remove outdated questions, add new questions based on new technology/treatments, clarify problematic sections Q&A Meeting allow for data managers to pilot the forms ensure source documents exist for requested data We then assemble and meet with the initial review committee. This group consists of physicians who are experts in the field, other subject matter experts, data managers, and cibmtr staff. The group meets weekly, for 4 weeks, 2 hours each, to review the form top-to-bottom and question-by-question. This group is removing outdated questions, adding new questions based on new technology or treatments, and clarifying problematic issues. After the 4 weeks of meetings, we allow a few weeks for the data managers to pilot the new form. We want to ensure that the questions being asked can be answered or that they make sense. This Q&A session allows data managers to voice concerns, raise issues, and seek clarification with the physicians and CIBMTR staff.
The form revision process Plan Prepare Revise Step 4 Review Approve Release The form revision process
Review Internal Review CIT review Statistical review Database review Develop validations, identify potential problem areas, and discuss form development Once the initial review committee is complete and there is a working draft, we continue the internal review. CIBMTR staff participate on the IRC and can provide input during the revision calls. We then meet with CIT, the statistical group and our database team. We develop validations based on previously known issues or suspected future issues, and identify potential problem areas of the new form.
Plan Prepare Revise Review Step 5 Approve Release
Approve Scientific Director(s) Request volunteers for time studies Review form drafts and change summaries Review occurs at standing weekly meeting Request volunteers for time studies Assess form completion burdens After IRC and internal reviews are done, we will have a working draft that we feel comfortable presenting for approval. The form draft goes to the scientific directors. This group will review the form drafts and change summaries and give feedback. We may have to make changes based on their input.
Approve OMB Approval Form 2400, 2402, 2004, 2005, 2006, and 2450 Long process (6+ months) Post to the Federal Register: 60 day notice, 30 day notice OMB review and approval Approval by the Office of Management and Budget, b/c of paperwork reduction act
Post- Approval FormsNet3 Process Build new forms Write/test validations Define Events and Actions (logic for how forms come due) Metadata work AGNIS Mappings We pass it off then, to the next team where

Release New Forms Forms Instruction Manual Update / develop eLearnings Announce to Network Release forms prior to “Go Live” date Forms Instruction Manual Release updated manuals prior to “Go Live” date Update / develop eLearnings
Finally…How can YOU help? Submit form change suggestions Submit at any time Send to your CRC Suggestions reviewed during the next revision Volunteer Participate on a form revision committee! Important to have data managers involved
Finally…How can YOU help? Time studies We need your input on the length of time it takes to complete the forms Important information for OMB process but also any revised forms Please, please, please volunteer
Upcoming Revisions

At this point, I feel like every center has participated in some way to this round of revisions. I’ve lost track of the full list, so thank you to everyone who has participated in any way.
