What is a change for encoding?

In Oracle Clinical One Platform, Change for encoding represents a predefined reason included in your organization's default system code list. You can typically select this option for justifying an update to data that was already collected and saved for a subject.

Changes to encoding refer to modifications in the encoding scheme of clinical data to ensure compatibility, reduce errors, and optimize data transfer or file conversions. This is particularly relevant for integrations, where data may need to be standardized across different systems or formats.
