CiviCRM Object Model

Contacts

Contact entries for LCBRU staff are created automatically from the relevant drupal account. And the drupal account is created automatically at first log-in using LDAP. Smooth.

Non-staff will have contact records created for them separately and manually.

• Address
  • State / Province - is replaced by 'county' during localization to UK
  • County - do not use (this is a different division than UK County

Custom fields likely to be necessary for participants

• GP surgery
• NHS number
• UHL S number

Groups

• LCBRU staff (ACL group, to all for ACL role of 'LCBRU staff' to have edit permissions on contacts etc) - could this be a 'SMART GROUP' based on the creation of a drupal account?

Case type

Represents the study

Needs custom fields to represent the study ID number? Since 4.2.0 custom fields can be attached to a specific case type. This works quite nicely but will need the use of 'hooks' to intercept the data and validate it is unique before entry into the database.

Cases

Represents the recruitment of a participant against a specific study.
Might need a revised form template as 'details', 'duration' and 'subject' are not really relevant.

• Medium (represents the recruitment method) - needs additional options (it's the 'encounter medium' option group):
  • GP surgery

• Location
• Details
• Subject
• Case type

• Case roles - what are we doing with this?

• Case workflow - defined in the associated xml file, what activities are we presenting as a workflow for GENVASC?
