Registering for an account:
A colleague from your Cleft Service with an existing CRANE account will need to submit a request on your behalf behind their CRANE login on the CRANE Data Entry System. There are two types of accounts available: Viewer and Editor.
Viewer and Editor access allows users to:
- Search and view patient records.
- Export / download the data for those patients under your care.
- View live tables showing up-to-date summary data. These include cleft type, diagnosis time, consent status, outcome data completeness, cases with missing identifiers, transfers and imports.
Editor access allows additional functions so that users can:
- Create and modify patient records.
- Import / upload collated outcomes data via spreadsheet / csv files.
Once a colleague has submitted your request, it will be reviewed and approved by the Clinical Lead of your Cleft Service. You will then receive an email with further steps to activate your account.
A user guide for CRANE account registrations is available here
