Examples of web-based software created by IRT
- Clinical Informatics Support and STRIDE: The Center for Clinical Informatics is the home of STRIDE, the Stanford Translational Research Integrated Database Environment. The foundation of the STRIDE project is a HIPAA-compliant biomedical data repository consisting of historical records of clinical data from SUMC stretching back nearly 10 years, collected with the intent of supporting and furthering translational research. The STRIDE toolset includes both preparatory-to-research anonymized search engines and also custom research data management modules.
- Community Academic Profiles (CAP): An online resource that describes the primary appointments, research activities and publications of school faculty and researchers. The system automatically imports new publications for our faculty from PubMed and tracks personnel changes via People Soft. Profiles can be linked from any site, and can be integrated with sites that use the SoM Web format.
- Clinical Trial Directory: Comprehensive listings of all clinical trials at Stanford and integrated with clinicaltrials.gov to meet registration requirements from the FDA and ICMJE for publication.
- MESA - Web Based Medical School Admissions Application: The Office of Student Affairs and IRT Systems Engineering & Architecture collaborated to create the medical school admissions application called MeSA. The system provides a fully paperless admissions process including application receipt, interview scheduling, candidate review, workflow approvals and notifications.
- FAST|FAC is the School of Medicine's Faculty A&P System Tracking File Assembly Completion system. Development of FAST|FAC is a multiple year collaboration between the Office of Academic Affairs and IRT. The system aids in the collection and distribution of information related for the completion of long forms during the appointment, reappointment, and promotion of faculty.
- Faculty Billets Tracking System is the School of Medicine's electronic system for tracking the allocation and use of faculty billets. Development is a mutliple year collaboration between OAA, OIP, and IRT and will be released in the spring of 2009.
- MedEvents: The Medical Events Calendar offers a dynamic compendium of events at the Medical Center. This online appliation allows departments to maintain an online schedule of events which can be incorporated into any Stanford Medicine website. The system is iCal compliant and open to any department or unit.
- Newswire: This application allows authorized members from School of Medicine and Hospital departments to create their own listing of news to display on their Web site or otherwise syndicate. Departmental news authors can either create their own news stories or choose from existing news stories to build their list.
- Online Survey Creation Tool: This online survey creation tool supports both public, non-secured anonymous surveys and Stanford-only secure surveys. It offers complete data tabulation and summary reports through a secure administrative URL and it can hide user ids for HIPAA-compliant reporting.
- Paging Service: As a customizable front-end application for the Stanford Smartpage system, this application supports the decentralized maintenance of customized pager directories for departments, divisions, residency programs and other users. This application can replace a number of home-grown textpaging directories that bypass the internal paging systems.
- Free Clinic Volunteer Sign-up and EMR: IRT has since 2005 been hosting an in-house developed HIPAA-compliant Electronic Medical Record (EMR), volunteer sign-up sheet, referral and lab followup tracking, and reporting system for Pacific Free Clinic and Arbor Free Clinic. Both clinics offer free health care to underserved communities here in the Bay Area
