Clinical Informatics Management System
(CIMS)
Brief Description:
HPCIO has been developing a clinical care and research data management system to allow physicians and clinicians to conduct clinical trials and researches. The Clinical Informatics and Management System (CIMS) is a centralized clinical data management and analysis system that will assist NIH clinical investigators in managing protocols and patient and research data as well as in integrating disparate data sources for analysis.

Collaborators
Major Accomplishments in FY 2007
In collaboration with Dr. Jordan Grafman, Senior Investigator and Chief of the Cognitive Neuroscience Section of NINDS , the CIMS project supported and completed the data migration of a phase III Vietnam Head Injury Study (VHIS) onto the Clinical Study Informatics System (CSIS) platform. VHIS is a longitudinal neuropsychological and medical study of Vietnam Veterans with penetrating head injury. This was a joint effort between the National Naval Medical Center (NNMC), NINDS and HPCIO. In this effort, HPCIO developed import tools for the migration of the post-injury data to be addressed for analysis related to cognitive neuroscience issues. The purpose of this research study is to determine the long-term consequences, if any, of head injury.
Anticipated Major Accomplishments in
FY 2008
CSIS will continue on improving the dynamic query capability to include sub-queries and distributed queries that across multiple protocols for data discovery; creating an effective auditing mechanism for tracking accesses and changes made in the clinical database and protecting patient concerns and privacy; improving the form library re-usability such that forms can be modified and utilized across all protocols; creating a way to allow patient to fill out survey forms or other pre-admission forms over the web.
