At the Beginning of the Clinical Trial

In preparation for the clinical trial, the administrator sets up templates to generate site activity plans for site initiation and to track documents.

When the CRAs begin work on a new clinical trial, they add new information and update existing information about accounts, contacts, and sites, and about the affiliations and associations among them. Maintaining accurate data is critical to successful clinical trials.

When a new contact is entered, the CRA requests that the administrator enter the contact's primary specialty and license number (such as a physician investigator's AMA number). Data cannot be entered in these fields from the CRAs' views.

From time to time, CRAs enter account or contact records incorrectly. Or, they discover that some account or contact records have become obsolete. The CRA then puts in a request to the administrator to have those accounts and contacts deleted. CRAs do not have the responsibilities needed to delete these records.
