Due to the widespread implementation of clinical information systems, the need to acquire and integrate data from multiple sources, and the trend toward transmitting large amounts of information to a growing number of users in diverse settings, biomedical informatics technology has become essential to clinical and translational research.
The biomedical informatics staff is available to meet with investigators regarding overall data management; they should be consulted at an early point in a project regarding the best method of collecting and managing data. Staff members can advise on the best way to use the various tools available to researchers, such as Trial/DB, a flexible Web-accessible database that uses electronic case report forms to support clinical trials.
