Working with Multiple Sites

When you are working on a study in which you plan to collect data at individual sites and then send your data to a Coordinating Center for processing, QDS can help by tracking shipments and generating receipts.

In a multi-site study in which the Warehouse Manager is being utilized at both the site and central level, the data flow may look something like:

Site Level Steps	Data Coordinating Center Steps
Collect Data Add Data to Warehouse Create Shipment files Send Shipment files to Coordinating Center
	Receive Shipment files Add Shipment files to Warehouse Generate Receipt files Send Receipt files to sites
Post Receipt files Continue adding and shipping data as needed
Export data from Warehouse as needed	Export data from Warehouse as needed
