EVENT BASED SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MANAGING CLINICAL TRIAL DATA

摘要

A system and method for integrating clinical trial data housed in disparate systems. The integration system listens for a clinical trial event broadcasted by any one of the disparate systems. The clinical trial events are the same or similarly defined among the disparate systems. The integration system receives notice of a clinical trial event from one of the disparate systems and then sends a query to the disparate systems requesting metadata corresponding with the clinical trial event. The metadata is comprised of attributes of the clinical trial event and the values of such metadata may differ among the disparate systems. The responsive metadata is stored in an unstructured format and can be displayed in substantially real-time via a graphical user interface.

1. A method for integrating clinical trial data housed in disparate systems comprising:
listening for a clinical trial event broadcasted by any one of the disparate systems; receiving notice of a clinical trial event that is broadcasted from at least one of the disparate systems; sending a query to the disparate systems requesting metadata corresponding with the clinical trial event; listening for responses to the query from the disparate systems; receiving from the disparate systems the metadata corresponding with the clinical trial event; storing the metadata in an unstructured format; and displaying via a graphical user interface in substantially real-time the clinical trial event and the associated metadata as received from the disparate systems; wherein a clinical trial event is a distinct event or occurrence that is similarly defined in the disparate systems; wherein the metadata comprises attributes of the corresponding clinical trial event; and wherein the metadata for the clinical event in the at least one disparate system differs in some respects from the metadata for the same clinical event in at least one additional disparate system.
