1.2

COI-SMART Limited Edition (LE)

COI-SMART is a well-established web-based tool for the management of conflicts of interest. Its
comprehensive feature set has helped many hospitals, academic medical centers, and health
systems handle complex, high volume disclosure processes, managing conflicts of interest related
to research, the IRS and fiduciary responsibilities. COI-SMART has the largest installed base of any
COI management tool, and has been rolled out in more than 500 locations.
The Challenge: Many smaller and less complex organizations have sought to automate their own
paper-based COI disclosure processes, but have not been able to support the expense associated
with a full featured COI management system. In many places, institutions manage conflicts of
interest for a small number of influential board members and physicians, and would like to
professionalize a process which has always been manual and labor intensive. Now, COI-SMART
Limited Edition (LE) brings many of the features of COI-SMART to smaller, or less complex,
organizations at an affordable cost.
COI-SMART LE is designed to accommodate three basic categories of users:
•
•

"Respondents" are users who access the system to complete disclosure questionnaires.
"Reviewers" are users who are authorized to review and take action on the questionnaires of
respondents. (A Reviewer is often also a Respondent).

Proprietary and Confidential: This document is the property of Health Care Compliance Strategies, Inc. This document may not be
duplicated or distributed without the express written permission of HCCS, Inc.

COI-SMART LE Administrator Guide
•

"Administrators" are users with limited administrative rights to the system. They can modify
user profiles, run reports and otherwise manage the COI-SMART LE system. (An Administrator
is often a Respondent and can also be a Reviewer).

The COI-SMART LE system can provide custom questionnaire content based on a respondent’s role
(or roles) within the organization. Reviewers will have access to the disclosures of all individuals
within the system.
The COI-SMART LE program is designed to be user-friendly, particularly for respondents who come
into contact with the program infrequently. Users are able to access their questionnaire from, a web
browser that is connected to the Internet, to provide initial disclosures and to revise information
going forward. See appendix B for supported web browsers.
A user (respondent) initially accesses the system when they receive an email from the COI-SMART
LE system. That email will include a link which will bring them to a login screen. The first time they
access the system they will be asked to set a unique password. They will then be brought to a
default announcement screen which will introduce them to the COI-SMART LE system. Reminder
emails can be automatically sent to remind respondents to submit questionnaires.
When answering the questionnaire, respondents proceed through a series of intuitive and easy-tonavigate screens to answer questions. When they have completed every required question, they
will be asked if they want to submit their questionnaire.
COI-SMART LE includes a module that allows an authorized individual to manually enter
questionnaire responses on behalf of someone else, so that information originally provided on
paper can then be analyzed and reported electronically. If desired, a paper form can be scanned and
uploaded as a supporting document.
Once questionnaires are submitted, they are immediately available for review. At any time
thereafter, respondents may access their submitted questionnaire to review and, if desired, revise
their answers. The system retains both the original and the revised answer.
The system includes a document library where the client can make their policies, procedures, forms,
etc. available for access by respondents and reviewers.
Questions can be designed so that any particular response will trigger an additional question asking
for more detail. Policies can be built into the question structure. For example, a client may decide
that a gift of less than $50 does not require additional follow up. The system can track this item but
not require that it be reviewed. Or it can be sent to a reviewer who can then simply click on a
Review Action saying “No Further Action Required”.

COI-SMART LE Administrator Guide
The COI-SMART LE system was designed to do more than simply manage the collection of COI
Disclosures. The system is designed to manage conflicts that are uncovered through the disclosure
process. The COI-SMART LE review process distinguishes this program from others on the market.
The COI-SMART LE review process enables and tracks detailed communication between reviewers
and respondents. Correspondence may include attachments, which can be uploaded by reviewer or
respondent.
A reviewer can conduct a Search to filter respondents for follow-up by department, role, disclosure
status, etc.
Members of a review committee may be assigned as reviewers, or a single reviewer can forward
disclosure information to committee members if desired.
The system provides comprehensive standard reports that can be exported to MS Excel. Clients also
have the ability to design custom reports for an additional fee, which can be programmed and
added to the list of available reports.

Navigation

COI-SMART LE web pages are divided into sections.
Title Bar. This is where the user name is displayed. If your organization opts for it, it’s also where a
custom logo a can be displayed.
 A custom logo is not included in the LE license. Your organization can utilize a custom logo for an
additional fee. Contact your Account Manager for more information.
"Breadcrumbs". This is a link that displays the current selection off the menu. Breadcrumbs offer
users quick navigation links to prior screens.
Menu. This is where available functions are displayed and selected.
Content Pane. This is where the content of the menu selection is displayed. All transactions are
performed in this section.

2. Account Administration
On the left navigation menu, click on Group Admin. The following sub-menu displays:

2.1 Roles
Roles are assigned to respondents to determine the questions and/or questionnaires they will
receive. Roles are also assigned to questions to determine their associated respondents. Roles are
also used for searching and filtering data in the reviewer queue and in reports. The COI-SMART
team will work with your organization to set up and manage roles as needed.

2.2 Departments
Departments are assigned to respondents. Departments are also used for searching and filtering
data in the reviewer queue and in reports.

2.3 Cost Center
A Cost Center may be a Facility, Business Unit or Tax Entity on the organization’s accounting ledger.
Cost centers are also used for searching and filtering data in the reviewer queue and in reports.

2.4 Permitted Values
Permitted Values are predefined lists which are shared across all questionnaires. Permitted Value
Lists can be used within questions to create "drop-down" lists, or "type ahead" lists (similar to what
is used in Google) to simplify and standardize responses. For example, if a question asks the
respondent to identify a relationship, a drop down list can offer choices of spouse, sibling, parent,
child etc. Alternatively, a list of the top ten Pharmaceutical companies might be used so a
respondent can choose "Pfizer" instead of incorrectly typing "Phizer" in a text box. This way data is
much cleaner and the database is a more valuable tool for "mining" and reporting data.
 Permitted Values are not included in the LE license. Your organization can utilize Permitted
Values Lists for an additional fee. Contact your Account Manager for more information.

2.5 Email Templates
Email Templates are used to provide standardized, reusable email content for commonly sent
messages to both respondents and reviewers. Email Templates are used by system-managed
triggers, activated by various predefined events as outlined below.

2.6 Job Titles
Job Title is an optional field that can be used for custom reporting. "Job Title" has no effect on the
assignment of questions in the questionnaire.

2.7 Review Action Types
Review Action Types are used to determine the overall questionnaire status. The most recent
review action type takes on the overall questionnaire status. Review Action Types can also be used
for searching and filtering data in the reviewer queue and in reports.

2.8 Security Profiles
A Security Profile is a set of access rules for users of your organization’s system. Each user account
on the system is assigned a single Security Profile that defines access for that user. Each user is
assigned a Security Profile before they can access any screens. Each Security Profile contains the
rules that dictate which screens a user can access as shown below.

To add a new user to the system manually, select “Create User” on the upper-right of the screen.
To edit a particular user’s demographic information, click on the user’s name and then select “Edit”
(See the section below for descriptions of each field of the selected User screen).
Other options include “Add Memo to User” “User Summary Lookup”, “Delete”, “Deactivate”,
“Terminate” or “SendEmail”.

Click on “Add Memo to User”. The memo functionality allows an Administrator, Manager or
Reviewer (based on Security Profiles) to document respondent-specific information and
communication prior to the respondent being assigned to or completing a questionnaire.
Click on “User Summary Lookup” to see if a respondent has submitted an assigned questionnaire.
This view will show the respondent’s assigned departments and reviewers.
Click on “Edit” to edit the account of the selected user.Use the "Delete" action when you want to
remove the user from the database, including reports. This is especially useful if a respondent was
added in error.
Use the "Deactivate" action to restrict a user from logging in while still enabling their data on
reports. This feature is especially useful for respondents on leave, inactive Board Members, and
others when you need to report on their disclosures for several years after they depart the Board.
Use the "Terminate" action when a respondent is no longer employed or affiliated with the
organization and you no longer want the respondent to appear on reports. You can "UnTerminate" the respondent if they are re-hired or if you later find that you need their data to
appear on reports.
This last option (“SendEmail”) is particularly useful when respondents claim that they have not
received an automated announcement or reminder for a particular questionnaire. An
Administrator can manually send a specific questionnaire announcement email to a respondent
while speaking with the respondent on the phone and can ensure receipt.

below with regards to setting a password for new users.
Password and Confirm Password. When creating a new user in the Admin Account / Users area, two
additional Password fields will be shown: Password and Confirm Password.

You may leave the password section blank. The Respondent will have the opportunity to create their own
password once they receive their Open Questionnaire Email. If you create a password for the Respondent,
you will need to communicate the password you set on this screen to the user, either by phone, email or some
other method outside of the COI-SMART LE system.

COI-SMART LE Administrator Guide
Users who are created in bulk via automated demographic upload files will have no password assigned to
them. When a questionnaire is ready for one of these users, a unique email will be sent to them containing a
custom link, enabling them to set their own password before logging in.
 For information on user’s first-time password setting and COI-SMART LE links embedded in announcement
emails, please see the “3.2.2 Custom URL” section in the Troubleshooting section of this guide.
 When editing a previously-created user’s account, you cannot see their password, however, you can reset it
by clicking the “Change Password” link on the bottom-right of the screen.
 For more information on passwords, see the “3.2.2 Security” section in the Troubleshooting section of this
guide.

3. Troubleshooting Guide
3.1 Supported Browsers
COI-SMART LE supports the following browsers:
Microsoft Internet Explorer version 9 or higher on Windows


Mozilla Firefox version 2 or higher on Windows and on Apple OSX or higher
Apple Safari version 3 or higher on Apple OSX or higher

 Respondents have reported success with smart phones (iPhone, etc.) and tablets (iPad, etc.);
However, these platforms are not officially supported by HCCS.

3.2 Logging In / Passwords
3.2.1 Direct URL
As administrator, go to the direct URL: https://client.coi-smart.com.
Where client is the subdomain name assigned to your institution.
Enter your user name and password. To reset your password, click the ‘Forgot Password’ link. The
following screen appears:

Enter your email address. Follow the instructions on the email to log into the system.

3.2.2 Custom URL
The direct URL also works for respondents and reviewers. However, some respondents and
reviewers may have received an email with a custom link to log into the system, for example:
https://test.coismart.com/password_reset.php?a=onDiDg88T6rHFlLDL7pbhA%3D%3D&b=MIANDcANB73SAl
2sIOuCIA%3D%3D

COI-SMART LE Administrator Guide
By clicking on the custom link, the system automatically directs the user to one of two pages:
a) Login page (if a password exists)

b) Set Password page (for first-time users)

A note on first-time password setting and COI-SMART LE links embedded in an announcement
email.
We designed the questionnaire announcement and password feature to work in the same way
facebookTM works. Before a questionnaire announcement is sent to a respondent, the database
checks if they have a password set. If the respondent does not already have a password, the link
embedded in the announcement email contains a unique, one-time-use link. When the user clicks
the link, they are brought to a special login page, unique to them, and asked to set their own
password (see screen shot “b” above). Since the link embedded in the email is unique, and since
the system trusts that only the named respondent has access to their own email, no other user can
get to that page in the COI system.
Here is a sample of an announcement to a respondent that has not previously set a password. Note
the long, unique link in the email:

Proprietary and Confidential: This document is the property of Health Care Compliance Strategies, Inc. This document may not be
duplicated or distributed without the express written permission of HCCS, Inc.
Page 21 of 31

COI-SMART LE Administrator Guide

When the respondent clicks on the embedded link, they are brought to the set-password screen
(screen shot “b” above).
If the link is used again (say the user clicks it a week later), the system knows that a password has
already been set and brings the user to the login page (screen shot “a” above), requiring their ID
(which is in the announcement email) and the password they previously set. If they forget their
password, they can use the "Forgot Password" link, which generates a new unique link email to
them.
Because the link is unique to each respondent, DO NOT cut and paste your unique link and email it
to others.
If the respondent has previously set a password, the link in the announcement email will look
different. It will contain only the domain name. In the example email above, the link might be
https://test.coi-smart.com

3.2.3 Security
The system locks the user’s access after more than 5 password attempts in 3 minutes. It unlocks
the user after 30 minutes. The administrator can also go into the user’s record and clear the Locked
flag.
For general troubleshooting, the administrator can perform the following steps:
1. Ask the user to wait 30 minutes and try logging back in.
2. If 30 minutes has passed, resend the announcement email. On the Menu, select “Account
Admin” -> “Users”. Select the user and click “Send Email”. The user will be sent an email with the
custom link.

3. To reset a user’s password, click the “Change Password” link at the bottom of the User page.

 The field will expand as shown in the screen shot below.

New Password and Confirm Password. Enter the same value for both fields following the schema shown
above.

3.2.4 Password / Reset Password
If a user forgets their password any time after they set it, they can reset it by selecting the “Forgot
Password” link on the login screen and typing in their email address.

After they hit “Submit” on the form, an email will be sent to them with a new unique URL, similar
to the example shown in 3.2.2 (“Custom URL”) shown above.

3.3 Manual Entry
Administrators can enter and view data on behalf of the respondent. From the Menu, select
‘Manual Entry’ -> ‘Start Manual Entry’.
A list of all registered users will display. Select the user and click ‘Complete A Questionnaire For
This User’. The ‘My Questionnaire’ page will display for that user.
Manual Entry is used if the respondent could not log into the system due to limitations. More
likely, the respondent has filled out a paper form, which needs to be transcribed into the electronic
version. If desired, the paper form can be scanned and uploaded into the questionnaire as a
supporting document.
The ability to perform Manual Entry is assigned to the Administrator Security Profile by default.
 As a general recommendation, Administrators (or those performing Manual Entry) should scan a
copy of the respondent’s paper questionnaire and attach the scanned document to the first
question in the questionnaire. This will serve as future proof of the paper response.
