Investigators are primary account holders, who hold the unique ability to join/create Circles and if desired, manage their own Patient and Case lists. Investigators can be practitioners, clinics, Sponsors, and anyone else who wants full access to inCytes™ functionality.
Set Up an Investigator Account
To assist in patient registration and data collection, Investigators can invite team members to their accounts. These team members are healthcare professionals who assist you with certain functions in your daily practice. Team Members have full read/write access to their Investigator’s account, including their sensitive Case and Patient lists. All Team Member activities are performed under the brand, control and ownership of the parental Investigator. Team Members are ideal for trusted nurses, office staff, and/or close groups of clinicians. A team member can only belong to one Investigator.
Team member’s subscription costs an extra $35 for Investigator.
Investigator vs Team Member
The investigator is the owner of the account and any data collected by patients associated with their account.
Team members share branding and patients with their associated investigator. They may enroll new patients for their investigator, but do not own any data. Team members may only ‘belong’ to one investigator at a time, and automatically join the Circles which their investigator has joined.
In short, it’s like sharing your account without sharing your credentials to it.
- a third-party role for inCytes™ Circles. Service Providers can be laboratories, call centers, or scribes, and their permissions can be restricted to certain tasks, such as outcomes follow up or a laboratory task.
We have a flexible system of granting access to data for Service Providers. Learn more about different levels of access for Service Providers and select the option that best meets your requirements.
All the data collection and analysis on our platform is built around Circles. Creating a Circle supposes having different roles within it:
- Circle Founder
- Circle Administrator
- Circle Member
Circle Members are Investigators who elect to share their Case data, but not their actual Cases/patients, with other Circle Members. Circle Member access is ideal for independent Investigators participating in a study, registry, trial or other multi-center initiative.
Each Circle role has its settings and permissions to perform different actions within a Circle:
Clinical staff derive multiple benefits from having independent team member accounts, rather than sharing account credentials and access to an investigator account:
Having multiple accounts helps you avoid situations when shared credentials are accidentally re-shared with an individual unrelated to your organization.
Sharing one account will not give the transparency on Who actually performed relevant actions with patients and cases.
In the case of separate accounts, you can easily track which individual performed any account-related action.
With separate accounts, you don’t need to change credentials every time a user with shared-account access leaves.
The onboarding and offboarding experience of team members can be as simple as inviting a newcomer to the team and retrieving their access in 1 click, which adds an additional level of security to your PII data access.
Two-Factor Authentication is tied to a single device, which may be cumbersome when sharing an account. By creating team member accounts, each account may be tied to a separate Two-Factor Authentication.
