| There is a revolution underway in medicine that promises to fundamentally change both how
medical research is carried out and how clinical care is practiced. Called "personalized
medicine," this new approach links our exploding understanding of the human genome to disease
risk factors and to decisions about treatment regimens for patients. |

| At The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center, IT is playing a central role in this new
process. Dr. Vogel's presentation illustrates how personalized medicine is being practiced in
cancer care and research today and provides a glimpse into the future of medicine and the
central importance that IT investments will play. |

| This problem of acquiring and maintaining clinical decision support knowledge will grow
exponentially with the advent of personalized medicine. This presentation will focus on
approaches, utilizing illustrations from the Partners Healthcare System experience, to defining the
business case, building governance models, and implementing knowledge management
infrastructure for aligning clinical decision support with business drivers for superior quality,
safety, service and value. |

| As we develop Quality and Safety programs within our health care organizations we have found that many high impact initiatives involve care processes that are driven every day by the clinicians at the bedside. Some international initiatives such as the 100k lives campaign revolve around the timely implementation of seemingly simple interventions and increased vigilance of the bedside care team. Bedside Electronic Data Collection can be an enabling technology for many quality and safety initiatives. The increased clinical vigilance and feedback that EDC enables will be vital to the success of the quality and safety programs of the future. We will discuss the types of bedside data that might be brought to bear on issues of Quality and Safety and review some methods to obtain this data. We will also look closely at two examples of quality and safety initiatives which are directly supported by Bedside Data Collection methods. |

| A web based tool can speed the process of analyzing clinical data, meeting regulatory
requirements, and making decisions for patient safety. Pharmaceutical, biotechnology, medical
device, and research organizations rely increasingly on EDC systems to support well informed
decisions and accelerate the time to market for new products. Each organization’s EDC needs
vary depending on the product under study, available financial resources, and degree of
customization required. The National Institute on Drug Abuse sponsors clinical studies for new
drugs and for new uses of existing drugs. We will examine the key decision points and challenges
that NIDA faced in the process of developing and implementing a customized EDC system for
safety reporting. We will describe how we designed the serious adverse event tracking and
reporting system to meet the institute’s needs and comply with regulatory requirements and
standards. Finally we will discuss the impact of the system on our safety reporting process and
the implementation of results. |
