Description
The Clinical Center's Hospital Information System (MIS) has
been in place for 25 years. The longevity of this system is evidence
of how well it has served its role, but advances in information
technology and changes in the Clinical Center's model of care
have made this role seem increasingly limiting. The Clinical
Center needs a new system, to be in place when we move to the
new CRC, that will support the direct collection of management
data, protocol-centered care, and the collection of both numeric
and textual data in a way that will improve both clinical care
and research.
