Project > Study > Site > Patient

This classification hierarchy works well with the organizational structure shown in Example 1: Project Domain with Reporting on Separately Stored Study Data.

The Reports window display is based on the logical hierarchical structure of projects and their studies, sites and patients. The Project level contains all the company's project names as values, and the Study and Site levels contain all the company's study and site names, respectively, each linked to their project or study. The Patient level contains the Patient IDs of all patients participating in the project, each linked to their site. Most reports will apply to a whole project, study, or site, but from time to time there may be reports run on a single patient for medical reasons, and these reports are classified to the ID of the particular patient.
