Creating Records for Clinical Subjects

CRAs (clinical research associates) can enter information about clinical subjects. When they create the subject record, the subject visit template that is active for the site is used to set up a schedule of visits and activities for the subject.

To create a record for a clinical subject

  1. Navigate to the Site Management screen, then the Protocol Site List view.

  2. In the Protocol Site list, drill down on the site number field of the site to which you want to add a subject.

  3. Navigate to the Subjects view.

  4. In the Subjects list, create a new record and complete the necessary fields. Some fields are shown in the following table.
