Review Requirement for Site ID in the Participant Table

During Claims 2026 UAT, stakeholders provided feedback on the new Site ID field in the Participant table. The feedback was that participant counts are generally managed and analysed at the program level, rather than the individual site level. Requiring a Site ID introduces additional complexity to the submission process and may provide more granularity than is needed for the intended reporting outcomes.

The reporting objective should be reviewed with Energy Division staff to confirm whether participant reporting is intended to occur at the site level or whether a program-level approach would better meet the business need.

Questions for Energy Division

• What reporting or analytical use case requires participant records to be associated with a Site ID?

• Are participant counts expected to be reported at the site level or only at the program level?

• Would program-level participant reporting satisfy the reporting requirements?

• If Site ID is retained, how will participant records be used differently from the existing Site table?
