Effect of Computer Systems and Electronic Communication of Asthma Outcomes
Abstract
Medical Research and Material Command, Office of Regulatory Compliance and Quality (MRMC RCQ) Review. The primary problem encountered was obtaining the RCQ review. The need for this step in the research process was part of the initial grant process. Additionally, the local Investigation Review Board (IRB) had already approved the protocol when the need for this step was communicated several months after the grant was awarded. The development and testing of the system progressed to the point of having potential patients test the system by entering baseline data, however, this progress was immediately stopped under guidance from the RCQ reviewer. The initial information was forwarded to RCQ in November of 2000, and all requested revisions were forwarded in early January of 2001. However, review is still pending at the time of this report, and therefore, the clinical trial of the system still awaits RCQ approval. This has made completion of the project unfeasible due to funding short falls given this unexpected and prolonged administrative delay.
