1. A computer-readable medium encoded with a computer program for organizing and presenting information relating to medical research studies, the computer program including:
- a study setup code segment for presenting a user interface that receives new study information from a user and sets up the new study in a computer system, wherein the new study information includes study type, study status, enrollment status, IIRB information, a project description, project goals, inclusion criteria, and exclusion criteria;
a members code segment for adding members to a study, removing members from the study, and indicating a role for each member, wherein member roles are chosen from the group consisting of primary investigator, study coordinator, sub-investigator, and inactive;
a patients code segment for adding new patients to a study, presenting study patient information for review, removing patients from the study, and indicating a status of each patient, wherein each patient'"'"'s status is chosen from the group consisting of inactive, excluded, and expired, and wherein each patient is assigned an non-traceable patient identification number and identified by the identification number in study;
a study comments code segment for receiving comments from members of the study, storing the comments, editing the comments, and presenting the comments for review, wherein each comment is assigned a receiving date, a status, a responsible member, and a priority;

Abstract
A method and computer program manages medical research study information and laboratory test result information. The program generates an interactive user interface with elements for setting up a study (702), managing study member information (704), managing patient information (706), receiving and displaying comments (708), and configuring data to be stored in a database associated with the research study (710). The program also receives medical event information from a user and laboratory test result information from a laboratory information system (20d), and generates a chart (934) that correlates the test results and the medical events. The program also receives a normal range pertaining to a test result from the laboratory information system (20d) and provides a normal range indicator (952) for the test result.
