S H A R E D R E S O U R C E S I N F O R M A T I C S ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR Dido Franceschi, M.D. Associate Professor of Surgery PURPOSE The Division of Informatics at UM/Sylvester facilitates the integration of information to support patient care, research, education, and administration. The division is composed of two subdivisions: Systems Development and Support and Network Management and Personal Computing. SERVICES Systems Development and Support The Systems Development team conducts technical research and development to meet UM/Sylvester’s short- and long-term requirements. It also delivers software solutions in the areas of research, administration, and web development. The team’s primary objective is to increase productivity and efficiency in various areas of the cancer center by providing: 1) Systems analysis and design services. 2) Database development, administration, and support. 3) Programming of quality computer applications. 4) Development of Intranet web sites that provide employees with organized, readily accessible information in a central repository and secured web-based applications. 5) Project management and implementation, which includes technical and user documentation and user training. 6) Expedited document processing via electronic forms that are accessible through the web. The group provides infrastructure support with web-enabled database systems as follows: Research: The essential support needed by UM/Sylvester investigators is provided by the Systems Development team for the management of clinical trials and the protocol approval process; tracking of patient accrual data; collection of research personnel time and generation of invoices for protocol billing; management of investigatorinitiated clinical trial patient data; administration of web accessible protocols and related documents; secure dissemination of reports to investigators; and management of patient tissue banks including a web interface that allows investigators to search the tissue bank and request specimens according to their investigational interests. Administration: A centralized database system has been developed that unifies information from the various administrative divisions and facilitates the management and sharing of information. The database and related applications provide functionality for the management of UM/Sylvester’s members as well as profiles of their research interests and involvement, investigator’s published materials, grants, and research funded projects, shared resource facilities, and human resources. Network Management and Personal Computing The Network Management team provides infrastructure support for cancer center connectivity, central computing hardware, and firewall security. The network group has four major functions: 1) Integrate information systems and communications for the research, administrative, and clinical areas of the cancer center. 2) Support the operation of a center-wide Intranet with defined security. 3) Support connectivity to campus networks including access to wide-area networks. 4) Assist with hardware and software installation and support. 5) Provide system backup, disaster recovery, and high availability. 152 UM/Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center Scientific Report 2004
