MetroHealth Time and Effort Reporting
The MetroHealth Medical Center has launched a new Time and Effort Reporting System. The New System will sit inside the MHS eIRB System and all effort reports will show up in your eIRB Inbox. This new Time and Effort system operates in a very similar way to the MHS eIRB system these are both Click Commerce products and they have been configured to work in the same way. Each report will be created by pulling information from Lawson and the HR and Payroll systems. That report will then be imported into the Time and Effort system. It will first be reviewed by your Grant Manager(GMS). Then after she has reviewed and approved it the report will be placed in your Inbox for you to certify. An email notice will be sent letting you know that there is a report waiting to be certified it will have a link to the actual report. You can click on it and then login to the eIRB system review and complete the report and then certify the report. There are several new features. If you feel a grant is missing you can add it to your report, if you do so your report will go directly to your GMS before it is certified so that she can review your changes. The GMS and the user will be able to exchange comments if either feels clarification is needed. If you choose not to certify a report it will go automatically to the GMS for review. An Error Message will show on the page in Red if your report does not add up to 100% (This was the Number 1 reason effort reports failed in the old system). Any change in your planned effort >.1% will trigger a review by the Grant Manager before the report is approved as certified.
If you were not already registered with the eIRB System we have already registered you and sent you your ID and Password. If you have forgotten them please click forgot Password on the Login Page and the system will generate a new temporary Password.
Attached are some instructions you can use to get started. Let us know if there are questions or concerns. For questions about your actual report contact your Grant Manager. If you do not know who your Grant Manager is she will be listed on the cover page of your report. For technical questions contact Kathy Lawry.
We hope all these changes will improve the Time and Effort Certification for all those involved.
