This project seeks to develop a distributed network infrastructure to support primary care research / practice improvement networks to answer questions from Electronic Medical Record (EMR) data while keeping that data in the control of the practitioners.
We are working with a set of open source tools to help us do that. To find out more, you can go to our website or you can go through our development documentation here in this wiki.
This project will adopt / adapt / develop the software tools needed to deploy a network that connects EMR based practices to answer a range of clinically relevant questions. It will be open source and work with other open source components to rapidly build the infrastructure.
The project will leverage clinical data standards. It will not build its own data standards. For testing purposes, the project will work with at least two EMR products.
We are building these tools in an agile fashion. Our development process is question centric, wrapping functionality, features, and hardening the application as we address a range of questions that could be asked in a primary care research network.
For more information, see the project proposal. For clinicians and researchers, we also have a SCOOP Website, which is focused more on the users.
