Immediate Attention for PIs and Clinical Coordinators Regarding Obtaining Hospital Account Number

Please note that the procedure for requesting a clinical trial account from Tulane hospital has changed.  In order to receive an account number, Tulane University’s Office of Research Administration (ORA) must first issue a work order to Tulane hospital.   Effective immediately, the following forms must be submitted to ORA: 

1.  Department cover letter

2.  IRB-approved protocol

3.  IRB-approved informed consent/assent

4.  IRB approval letter

5.  A completed Hospital Meditech Client/Study Addition Form

6.  A completed Hospital Meditech Charge Form 

7.  Hospital Investigational Questionnaire

Forms may be emailed to vernalee@tulane.edu, faxed to Verna at 988-1748 or delivered to ORA’s office 201 Elks Place.

Once ORA has these documents, it will prepare and issue a work order to the hospital.  Once the hospital has signed the work order, the hospital will then contact the PI/coordinator to provide an account number.
