During kick-off meeting
- Develop a timeline
- Review all materials and processes
Site will provide an annotated copy of the File Spec on what they can/can’t report, important notes, etc.
- Site will provide a list with detailed descriptions of encounter types
Discussion of specific data elements of interest with sites will occur at the kick off or subsequent meeting
