Overview
Site entities represent the physical study site location where subject enrollments and data collection will take place. This same site will also be added to certain user configurations to establish site restrictions, to ensure those users can only access specific site(s) data.
Sites that are setup via Administration > Sites are global entities. They exist with the purpose/expectation of being established and maintained across one or more studies.
If a site is expected to participate in one or more studies, that site should not be created multiple times in Administration > Sites. Instead, the site would simply be added to study configurations established where that site is participating.
These are the recommendations for setting up sites:
Fill out as much of the site details as possible including address, phone, and investigator details. Once added to a study, the investigator details can be modified per study.
Always select a timezone setting that appropriately matches the physical location (closest city or region). More details on timezones are listed below.
Establish height/weight unit of measure appropriate to the site geographic location and study preferences
Ensure proper volunteer display patterns to meet site regional privacy laws
If customers have any questions about establishing site entities, they are encouraged to reach out to Foundry Health via service desk ticket.
