8. Provide a brief summary and justification for this investment, including a brief description of how this closes in part or in whole an identified agency performance gap.
The Clinical Research Information System (CRIS) was designed and implemented to support medical care and research support at the NIH Clinical Center. As the nation's largest research hospital, data collection and analysis for clinical trials is critical to improving the health of the nation. The CRIS supports over 1200 clinical trials at the hospital for the NIH through an enterprise of interfaced applications. As CRIS enters the O & M phase, the vision of multiple interfaced COTS systems is complete: The modules currently in production include: The hospital information core, radiology, nutrition, surgery, scheduling and admissions, Lab, transfusion medicine,EKG, Pharmacy, and Data Mart systems. Replacing a 25 year old legacy system, CRIS now offers a central source of data, images and reports for clinical researchers of the NIH intramural program. The project has mitigated the manual transfer of data, and has created electronic access to clinical and research data. The CRIS has been developed to meet multiple goals of the PMA. The key PMA is the e-government initiative. Clinical and research data including images are now ordered, documented and stored electronically. This has been critical to sustaining the research enterprise at the NIH, and allowed researchers access to larger datasets than in the past. A second PMA goal of human capital is also been addressed with this project. With the nursing shortage and decreased funding, there is decreased staffing. Therefore, the clinical care areas require efficient data capture into a system that accrues data once for care and for research. The CRIS system has reduced time for M.D.'s to enter orders (see performance measures) and also to make care decisions. This system has increased employee satisfaction with an electronic medical record system (see performance measures). The last PMA is R & D investment criteria. The core mission of the NIH is research. CRIS has enabled the intramural program to pool all patient data into one repository creating efficiencies and allowing researchers to analyze increasingly more complex data and results by protocol or across protocols. CRIS continues to meet goals set through a rigorous CPIC process. Budget requests are vetted through the project Steering Committee, the NIH IT Working Group, and evaluated through the NIH Budget and Management Working Group. CRIS became Steady in State with the beginning of Fiscal Year 2007.

PERFORMANCE


In order to successfully address this area of the exhibit 300, performance goals must be provided for the agency and be linked to the annual performance plan. The investment must discuss the agency's mission and strategic goals, and performance measures (indicators) must be provided. These goals need to map to the gap in the agency's strategic goals and objectives this investment is designed to fill. They are the internal and external performance benefits this investment is expected to deliver to the agency (e.g., improve efficiency by 60 percent, increase citizen participation by 300 percent a year to achieve an overall citizen participation rate of 75 percent by FY 2xxx, etc.). The goals must be clearly measurable investment outcomes, and if applicable, investment outputs. They do not include the completion date of the module, milestones, or investment, or general goals, such as, significant, better, improved that do not have a quantitative measure.
Agencies must use the following table to report performance goals and measures for the major investment and use the Federal Enterprise Architecture (FEA) Performance Reference Model (PRM). Map all Measurement Indicators to the corresponding Measurement Area and Measurement Grouping identified in the PRM. There should be at least one Measurement Indicator for each of the four different Measurement Areas (for each fiscal year). The PRM is available at www.egov.gov. The table can be extended to include performance measures for years beyond FY 2009.

PART THREE


RISK


You should perform a risk assessment during the early planning and initial concept phase of the investment's life-cycle, develop a risk-adjusted life-cycle cost estimate and a plan to eliminate, mitigate or manage risk, and be actively managing risk throughout the investment's life-cycle.

Answer the following questions to describe how you are managing investment risks.
1. Does the investment have a Risk Management Plan?
yes
1.a. If yes, what is the date of the plan?
2006-12-06
1.b. Has the Risk Management Plan been significantly changed since last year's submission to OMB?
yes
1.c. If yes, describe any significant changes:
The CRIS system has moved to steady state. The original plan primarily addresses issues that would be problematic for meeting go-live milestones. The new plan addresses issues with maintaining the system. Our system itself is not very different since in both pre-go live and post go live we continue to use a vigorous configuration management process with technical and functional review board. We have also an established Project Management Office that monitor risk. We annually update the risk plan so the current plan with be updated by the end of this year.
2. If there is currently no plan, will a plan be developed?
no
2.b. If no, what is the strategy for managing the risks?

COST & SCHEDULE


1. Was operational analysis conducted?
yes
1.a. If yes, provide the date the analysis was completed.
2007-03-10
What were the results of your operational analysis?
The first ORR was performed In August 2004 prior to the original go-live for CRIS CORE. In addition, before each of the ancillary go-lives, or Eclipsys upgrades, an Operational Readiness Review is also performed. This review typically consists of a checklist of readiness objectives that need to be achieved before the system go live, responsible staff member, date, etc. An Operational Analysis will be performed for the entire system each year covering costs, schedule and performance as requested by NIH management (the IT Working Group). As the system has moved into Steady State or Operations and Maintenance reviews are performed when there is a significant event such as a version upgrade. The review consists of preplanning the activation, preparation of a go-live activation check list of tasks and the person or persons responsible for performing the tasks. Minor reviews are performed with the installation of vendor based "hot fixes" or other changes to the system. These are captured in our Configuration Management System through the use of System Change Requests or SCRS. The last major review was performed with the upgrade to version 4.5 which went live on 3/10/07.
