> ## Providers and Clinical Groups

> Providers and Clinical Groups are important in AudBase. A Clinical Group is the central organizing concept in setting up and running multi-site clinical studies using the program. Assigning each subject to one or more providers and Clinical Groups helps structure information entered into the database, and makes it easier to retrieve the same information through searches. The concepts of provider and Clinical Group also help define levels of access to data and the security measures used to protect confidential subject data.

> This group of topics will take you through the features of the two main data entry forms used to create records in AudBase for providers and Clinical Groups, the Provider Information form and Clinical Group Information form. For more information about running a clinical trial, see the see the AudBase Clinical Trials manual.Entering Provider data
