Adding a new participant

Participants can be added using the Patients task, although this is not recommended.

About this task

New participant enrollments are typically added to LDMS when specimens are entered. The first time specimens are added with a new participant, that participant will be created.

New participants can also be added using the Patients task, although this practice should generally be avoided.

Procedure

  1. From the LDMS menu bar, click Tasks > Patients.
  2. Click Add Row.
    Warning: If you add more than one row, LDMS will treat each each row as the same participant enrolled in different studies. You cannot add two different participants at the same time.
  3. In the new row, select the group from the Group box.
  4. In the Identifier box, enter the ID1 for the participant.
  5. In the second and third identifier boxes, enter the ID2 and ID3, as required by the group.
  6. In the Clinic box, select the clinic with which this participant should be associated.
  7. From the LDMS menu bar, click Database > Add.
