Adding an Account and Contacts
An account is the institution from which clinical trials are managed. Typically, it is the facility where the investigators conduct the trials. More than one site can be associated with an account, and one account can be carrying out multiple protocols. IRBs (institutional review boards), central labs, CROs (clinical research organizations), and other subcontractors may also be tracked as accounts.
Contacts is the term used for personnel working at clinical sites. This includes the investigators, typically medical professionals who are also researchers, and site coordinators, who may be the practicing nurses administering the treatment plan according to the clinical protocol.
Bulk loading of data on accounts and contacts is generally performed by the Siebel administrator, but end users may add and modify these records as needed. (See Importing Data.)
