Effect of Computer Systems and Electronic Communication of Asthma Outcomes
Abstract
Notification of the award was received on 25 FEB 00, and work represented in this interim report covers the period up to 1 SEP 00. Since then, great strides have been made towards creating this project de novo. Due to the unique nature of this project, the work to date has been focused on building the infrastructure for the study intervention as well as identification and recruitment of the patient population. Since human subjects are to be enrolled, institutional Review Board (IRB) approval was necessary prior to moving forward. The application was completed and presented to the committee on 3 March 00. Approval was received on 10 March 2000. Contracts were submitted to the local contracting office for initial computer purchase required to start software development on 15 March. There was an unexpected delay of approximately four weeks with contract being awarded on 12 April and the investigator's computer systems not arriving until 27 April. Once these delays were recognized, a local system was upgraded in order for work to begin on web page and database design. Recognizing that this 6-8 week delay would be repeated with the purchase of the server and patient computer systems, there purchase orders became the highest priority. They were submitted on 1 May 00 and 9 May 00.
