Introduction

In order to support varying privacy requirements it is possible to set what information is displayed about trial participants in certain parts of the application. Multiple options are available including full date of birth, sex and initials; just year of birth and sex, or just the participant's unique database ID reference number.

Visibility of this information is first governed by the Roles allocated to the User. Users that don’t have the necessary permissions to visit areas of the application where the information is displayed, won’t have access to it, irrespective of the selected format.

Configuration

Navigate to Administration | Sites and select the site
Click the Volunteer Display hyperlink

Select your required option

This configuration option can be set independently for each site in your ClinSpark instance, allowing for e.g. permitted regional variations.

Limitations

This configuration option does not extend to the following areas of ClinSpark.

Reports and Dashboard Components

The Volunteer Display setting does not govern what is included in reports / exports or shown in dashboards.

Study | Configure

Initials, age and sex are always displayed…

It is anticipated that it is desirable to know age and sex when making Cohort Assignments in some cases and that this area of ClinSpark would normally be restricted to authorised site staff, and so this information would not be visible to e.g. trial monitors and or sponsors.

Study | Lab Data

Age and sex are always displayed…

Both age and gender may be needed when assessing certain medical tests, and so they are included here. Initials are not shown.
