Completing Clinical Trip Reports

After the site visit, you record the trip report details, such as:

  • The planned activities that you complete

  • Additional activities that you complete

  • Site personnel that you meet

  • Any follow-up items that arise from the trip

  • Comments on any of the previous items

Anyone can update and edit the records in the Trip Report Detail view at any time. For this reason, the end user can create a static report at the completion of the site visit, using the Siebel Report Viewer. This read-only document is ideal for archiving: as a printed document, as a file, or as an attachment to the site record in the Siebel Life Sciences database.

To complete a clinical trip report

  1. Navigate to the Site Visits screen, then the Clinical Site Visits List view.

  2. In the Clinical Site Visits list, drill down on the Visit Start field of the site visit for which you want to complete a trip report.

    The Trip Report form for the selected site visit appears.

  3. On the Trip Report form, complete or edit the fields as shown in the following table.
