Every user succeeds.

By applying proven models in user-interface design and training, we deployed a Web-based data collection and reporting system that has been enthusiastically embraced by users with limited computer equipment and skills. Social workers and nurses now submit forms paperlessly as they visit thousands of new mothers across seven counties. The value of the underlying database has been enhanced by immediate validity checks, up-to-the-minute summary reports, and instantaneous access to all previous entries.

Facilitating heart transplant candidate evaluation throughout Ohio.

The Ohio Solid Organ Transplantation Consortium (OSOTC) has a mission to ensure equitable access to transplant services to those most likely to benefit, regardless of personal resources. Patients are selected according to criteria established by the OSOTC, which are delineated in the Ohio Department of Health rule, and consistent with national criteria. The University of Cincinnati's Institute for Health Policy and Health Services Research (IHPHSR) has implemented a secure internet-based system to replace the OSOTC's existing fax-based procedures. This system meets both the patient evaluation and basic research needs of the OSOTC.

The Israel Penn International Transplant Tumor Registry.

The Israel Penn International Transplant Tumor Registry is literally the world's premier repository of information on patients who have developed malignancies after organ transplants. The administrators of the Registry not only collect information but also provide consulting services based on the accumulated knowledge that the Registry contains. By creating a secure Web-based front end, we have made it possible for the Registry to keep pace with its burgeoning international caseload.
