KEY INITIATIVE:
AUTOMATED PROTOCOL
DEVELOPMENT
Organizational Priority #1
Improve infrastructure and develop new services for intramural
clinical research program to support growth in clinical activity.
Leader(s)
Lisa Lacasse, David Henderson
Collaborators
Institutes, Information Systems, IRB's
Description
The task of writing clinical research protocols is currently
done manually by each Institute. The concept of Automated Protocol
Writing would be to centralize the
process with IRB "approved" components of the protocols
through the development
of "cassettes" of language/structure that PIs could
access and put together to create
a protocol.
Accomplishments-to-Date
New initiative. Will track closely with the Computerization
of Protocol Mapping.
FY2000 Goals
- Assess feasibility of developing Automated Protocol Writing.
- Determine structure, manpower, and equipment necessary to
implement at the Clinical Center.
- Detail implementation plan to create automation, including
process for IRB approval of certain protocol components/cassettes.
