We are currently recruiting clinics and laboratories nationally that work in the areas of HIV, HCV, HBV and/or STIs. Click here to download a brief project overview.
Briefly, ACCESS involvement has been designed to require minimal effort from participating sites. If your site is deemed a suitable candidate a member of the ACCESS team will contact you to ask a few questions about the site’s computer systems and patients seen. Next, a member of ACCESS will work with your IT team to install the data extraction software and configure it to your network. We recognise that every clinic and laboratory is a bit different so rest assured that the software will be configured to work with your local requirements.
Once the software is installed, data extracts will take place at a regularly scheduled time of your choice We recommend that sites nominate a staff member to serve as liaison for technical issues but otherwise there are no ongoing requirements from your service. We also recommend that each site nominates a site investigator who will receive regular updates on ACCESS, opportunities to co-author journal articles, and annual site reports.
Finally, we would like you to know that your participation in ACCESS is a much-valued relationship that we hope will result in shared benefits for all parties from data evaluation and research potential, as well as improved health innovations for the wider community.
