If patient attachments are enabled for your trial you can upload documents associated with a patient for storage in the patient’s CRF.
Note: It is essential that you do not upload documents containing personally identifiable patient information.
The specification page will list details of the maximum file size allowed for an individual attachment and the proportion of the space you have available for attachments that has been used.
Attachments information
Every role with access to the patient view may download the attachments. Investigators can upload new attachments, and Administrators can delete existing attachments.
The patient record will have an Attachments section with a link to Upload an attachment. Following the link takes you to the Attachments page for that patient, and a form where you can specify the file to upload along with an optional description.
Uploading an attachment
Submitting the form will store the attachment in the patient’s CRF.
Once attachments have been uploaded for a patient the patient view will display a link to download the attachment.
An attachment listed in the patient view
The Attachments page will contain a table detailing the attachments for that patient.
Table of attachment details
Administrators can delete existing attachments. To delete an attachment follow the Delete link from the table on the Attachments page. This will take you to a confirmation page where clicking the Delete attachment button will remove the attachment from the patient’s CRF.
Note: Deleted attachments are removed from the filesystem so you cannot undo this action.
