This means that access to PATSy is subject to password control and its use is controlled and monitored by the PATSy administrator.
PATSy offers different levels of access to the user.
Potential subscribers are required to contact the PATSy project directors, Carmel Lum and Richard Cox to arrange access to the PATSy system. Continued access to the PATSy system by full-access subscribers is reviewed annually. PATSy is a non-profit enterprise as all patient cases and contributors have given freely to this database. The addition of new test data from new cases will however, incur costs as well as subsequent replacement of equipment and general maintenance of the system. To cover these costs, a nominal charge in the form of a subscription is necessary.
