So far, the portal for medical data models allows its users to download medical forms in a standardized format. Importing data models into electronic data capture software involved a manual step of downloading and importing the files. Now, the portal was enhanced with a web services interface to allow electronic data capture systems to automatically download the forms. This mechanism can be used in federated studies to ensure that all partners are working with identical definitions of study forms.
