DataDirect Now Offers Recruitment Mode for Clinical Researchers

DataDirect Recruitment Mode is a new resource available to clinical researchers to view upcoming clinic schedules for more targeted recruitment efforts. 

Expanding on the prerequisite Cohort and PHI modes, Recruitment Mode allows users the ability to define a cohort based on inclusion/exclusion criteria and then generate automated reports of upcoming appointments and contact information for that cohort. To use Recruitment Mode, you must first be approved for DataDirect PHI use with an appropriate IRB approval for contacting patients.

Prerequisites to DataDirect PHI include:

• Level-2 password
• Completion of any PEERRS training
• IRB approval (Recruitment Mode requires appropriate IRB approval for contacting patients)
• Complete access request form here 
• Data Office MLearning training (training link is sent after request form is submitted)

For steps on using Recruitment Mode refer to pgs. 36-40 of the DataDirect User Guide listed under DataDirect Resources here. For questions on using DataDirect contact OoR-DataDirect-Help@med.umich.edu.
