Creating Visits for Study Participants

Using your preferred digital calendar platform (such as Gmail, Outlook, or Teams), you can create in-person or virtual study visits for a study participant to view details about and join in the MyVeeva for Patients app. You can create an in-person visit with instructions in the body of the invitation, or you can create a virtual visit containing a virtual meeting join link. Visits you create are organized in a visit list view for a participant to view and join from the Visits page in the MyVeeva for Patients app. You must have invited a participant to use MyVeeva for Patients in order to schedule visits for them in SiteVault. Sending them an eConsent form, enabling them with ePRO, or sharing a study document with them in SiteVault invites them to use MyVeeva for Patients.

Creating a Visit

1. On the Participants tab, select the participant beneath the Patient Name column.
2. Locate the participant’s MyVeeva calendar alias and select the copy icon to copy it to your clipboard.
3. In your preferred digital calendar platform, create a calendar appointment and enter the participant’s MyVeeva calendar alias as an invitee.
   • Enter the correct date, time, and description for the visit as these details appear on the participant’s visit list in MyVeeva for Patients exactly as you enter them. Rich text formatting such as bold, italics, and underlines are supported. Ordered or bulleted lists, tables, indents, and attachments aren’t supported.
   • If a visit is a virtual visit (such as through Meet, Skype, Teams, or Zoom), enter the virtual meeting join details in the description. The participant can join the virtual meeting in the MyVeeva for Patients app at the appropriate time.
   • You can invite multiple study participants to the same visit by entering all applicable MyVeeva calendar aliases as invitees.
4. Send the appointment invitation. The appointment is added to the participant’s visit list in MyVeeva for Patients. We notify the participant when you create a visit and when the visit is approaching. We also notify you when the meeting is processed and added to the participant’s visit list in MyVeeva for Patients or when the invitation fails to process.

Updating or Canceling a Visit

You can update an existing visit’s details (such as the date, time, and description) or cancel a visit in your digital calendar platform. The changes you make to the visit apply to the participant’s visit list in MyVeeva for Patients. Canceling a visit removes it from the participant’s visit list. We notify the participant when you update or cancel a visit. We also notify you when the update or cancellation is successful or when it fails to process.
