Clinical Research Environmental Data Infomatics Tracking (CREDIT©) is a comprehensive Web-based software program for all aspects of clinical trials administration and patient scheduling.

There is no other clinical trials data management and patient scheduling software available that compares to the robust capabilities of CREDIT©.  Its importance cannot be underestimated in the multiple day-to-day activities of research staff which require extreme attention to detail.  CREDIT© simplifies all aspects of clinical trials administrative tasks including tracking of patient schedules, simplification of record-keeping and reporting, notification of patients regarding changing protocol information, and IRB-related activities.

CREDIT© is a stand-alone system with additional modules available for investigational drug inventory management for pharmacies (IDEA©) and comprehensive Institutional Review Board administration (IRBANA©).

The capabilities of CREDIT© are highlighted as follows:

PATIENTS

CREDIT© allows the tracking of all past, present, and potential future patients which provides a comprehensive overview of activities of the clinical research program.

	Develop individualized schedules for each patient automatically adjusting for treatment delays
	Print patient activity lists for a given time period which alerts staff of patients who are due for treatments or other diagnostic activities dictated by their respective protocols
	Print schedules for patients in a variety of formats for a given time frame or the entirety of the protocol
	Modify patient schedules to include physician or nurse-related activities such as phone calls or visits not required by protocol
	Easily document adverse events and notify appropriate organizations and individuals
	"Archive" patients who are no longer on study, which allows all patient data to continue to be included in appropriate reports
	Track "prestudy patients" who are those individuals who have been approached or evaluated for a protocol as well as those awaiting initiation of a protocol
	Quickly and easily check-off completed protocol events for each patient

PROTOCOLS

The protocols section of CREDIT© provides the foundation for all clinical research functions.  Every other area links to a protocol and is dependent upon accurate protocol information.

	Easily add protocols and protocol arms to the database
	Document "Protocol Status Notes" which detail the clinical history of status changes or other important information about the protocol
	Include information related to IRB review, thus providing the framework for managing all IRB review schedules and activities
	Flag common toxicity criteria notification levels and automatically generate memoranda to those organizations and individuals requiring notification
	Download protocols from the DDOTS web site (DDOTS.com)

REPORTS

CREDIT's© comprehensive Reports module allows ultimate flexibility and vast options for generating reports for every conceivable need:

	Presents the user with an array of options regarding style and variables to be included in each report
	Brings together a myriad of details required to ensure patient adherence to protocols into a Master Schedule Report, which can be used by research staff to monitor and track all patient events
	Provides a variety of reports required by an organization's Institutional Review Board
	Generates all reports and tables required by the National Cancer Institute for annual reviews and grant applications
	Allows managers to review staff activity and productivity
