Each practice must carefully select a site administrator. This should be a staff member who will use the system on a regular basis and serve as an expert and coordinator for all users at their site. Practices also must appoint a secondary site administrator to help ensure continuous access. Site administrators are required to regularly verify site users, reset passwords, serve as on-site experts for other users and perform other critical functions to coordinate collaboration with The University of Kansas Health System.
For research, the site administrator is typically one or two of the research coordinators on the study being monitored.
Other types of EpicCare Link users will not need to appoint a site administrator. Their activities will be coordinated by a health system administrator.
