A patient-centric, Internet-based application for the data management of a multi-centre respiratory syncytial virus prophylaxis program

AMIA Annu Symp Proc. 2007 Oct 11:867.

Abstract

The success of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) prophylaxis programs is partially dependent upon meticulous tracking of at risk infants, and excellent data management. We designed and built an integrated, shared, user-driven but infant-centric data management application that enables an infants healthcare provider to determine an infants RSV prophylaxis status throughout the RSV season. The security and confidentiality of each infants information is protected by rigorous integrity constraints that have been integrated into the database schema.
