Description
|
A user friendly, clinical information system (CIS) for recording and retrieving transplantation relevant data of donors and recipients. Administrative, laboratory, clinical and scientific data are accommodated.
The system is indispensible for transplantation centres, coordinators and typing laboratories.
|
|
Purpose
|
- systematic, coherent collection of all the necessary and desirable data relevant for successful organ transplantation
- simplified coordination
- simplified (automatic) selection of suitable recipients
- better overview
- continuously updated lists
- current statistics at any time
- perfect database for scientific analyses
|
|
Advantages
|
genuine relational database
- information is entered and recorded once only
|
|
Ease of use:
- intuitive handling
- minimal need for training
- compact screen layouts without distracting visual ballast
- minimized typing due to (pop-up etc.) menues
- nothing to type in that can be computed from already entered data
- (optional) integrated word processing suite
|
|
Versatile:
- multiple organ transplantations (one recipient-many donors / one donor-many recipients), re-transplantations
- living related donors and cadaver donors
- any organs, any organ combinations
- record text, figures, images, sounds, videos
|
|
Flexible:
- the database is adapted to your local requirements
- functionality can be extended at any time
|
|
Open architecture:
- selective data import/export in various formats (ASCII-text, SYLK etc.)
- direct access via ODBC and SQL possible
- use as als web-server
|
|
Security:
- comprehensive, tailored user access (username, password)
- encrypted data transfer in the net
- integrated automatic backup, continuous, automatic action logging
- extensive real-time data validation
|
|
Stabiliy:
- highly stable (rare crashes)
- minimal or no data loss due to crashes (e.g. power failure)
|
|
Speed:
- in interpreter mode (standard) faster than comparable database environments
- extremely fast in compiled mode
|
|
Structure
Architecture
|
Separate, but linked tables (virtual "file-cabinets") for
- administrative, demographic data (addresses, contacts, phone numbers, etc.), separate files for donors, recipients, referring doctors etc.
- clinical cases (diagnoses, complications etc.), separate files for recipients and donors
- transplantation events or organs (which organ from which donor for which recipient, when, where, by whom etc.)
- HLA-typing
- autoantibodies
- HLA-antibodies
- virology
- blood chemistry
- etc.
