🏥Creating a Facility

  Administrator  

📌 Overview​

This guide explains how Facility Network Administrators can create a Facility within the Wound³ ecosystem.

🏥 What is a Facility?​

In the Wound³ ecosystem, each unit, site, or other group that should be separated from seeing another group's data is considered a Facility. Creating multiple facilities allows you to:

  • 🏥 Track patients and data from each independent site.
  • 🔒 Ensure that each site can only view, edit, and manage its own data (e.g., Site A cannot access or modify data from Site B).
  • 👥 Delegate user management to Facility Managers, who can create, manage, and delete users within their respective Facility.

ℹ️ Note: Facility Managers, Care Provider Users, and Patients all belong to a Facility. When creating a Facility, you must also designate a Facility Manager.

📩 Account Activation: Once the Facility Manager email is designated, an email invitation will be sent to the user, prompting them to set up their account. After account creation, the Facility Manager will be able to manage and control the Facility.

📅 When should I create a Facility?​

You should create a Facility when a study site has completed all onboarding steps for Wound³. A Facility must be created before any users (including research staff) from that site can be added to the study.

✅ Prerequisites​

To create a Facility, ensure you have the following:

  • 🔑 Active Facility Network Administrator permissions.
  • 💻 Access to the Wound³ web portal (creating a facility is not supported in the mobile application).
  • 🏠 The Facility’s name, phone number, and full address.

💡 Tip: We also recommend having the Facility Manager’s name, phone number, and email address on hand to create their account during this process.
