Abstract

A clinical analytics system is disclosed. A method for generating and displaying a patient form includes retrieving an XML file from a computer-readable medium. The XML file details data and structure of the patient form. The XML file is processed by running an XML-responsive application. The patient form defined by the XML file is generated. The form is displayed on a display.

Claims

1. A method for generating and displaying a patient form, the method comprising:

retreiving an XML file from a computer-readable medium, said XML file detailing data and structure of said patient form;

processing said XML file by running of an XML-responsive application;

generating said patient form defined by said XML file; and

displaying said form on a display.

2. A method according to claim 1, wherein said computer-readable medium is random access memory.

3. A method according to claim 1, wherein said patient form is an interactive patient form.

4. Method according to claim 1, wherein said patient form is a real-time interactive patient form.

5. Method according to claim 1, wherein said patient form is a clinical trial form.

6. Method according to claim 5, wherein said clinical trial form is a screening form.

7. A method according to claim 5, wherein said clinical trial form is a post-randomization form.

8. A method according to claim 5, wherein said clinical trial form is a termination form.

9. A computer program product containing a software program for installation in a central computer system that is connected to a network, the software program comprising:

code for generating code for a patient form, said patient form defined by an XML file.

10. A computer program product according to claim 9, wherein said software program further comprises code for network deployment of said code for a patient form.

11. A computer program product according to claim 9 or 10, wherein said patient form is an interactive patient form.

12. A computer program product according to claim 9 or 10, wherein said patient form is a real-time interactive patient form.

13. A method according to claim 9 or 10, wherein said patient form is a clinical trial form.

14. A method according to claim 13, wherein said clinical trial form is a screen form.

15. A method according to claim 13, wherein said clinical trial form is a post randomization form.

16. A computer program product according to claim 13, wherein said clinical trial-form is a termination form.

17. A computer program product comprising:

a software program comprising code for generating code for a patient form, said patient form defined by an XML file, said software program for installation in a central computer system that is connected to a network.

18. Computer program product according to claim 17, wherein said software program further comprises code for network deployment of code for a patient form.
