There are approximately 1.5 NEW studies a week starting. From the MAJOR
funded ones like TOTAL, to a study on how well a child sleeps at night
on a certain drug.
What they had in FPD was not flexible compared to what they have today.
Interface to EVERY other system on the hospital for Drugs, Surgery,
Admissions, Clearance to Studies.
Having all this tie in was where my FPD app fell on it's face. I wrote
a name checking routine that would compare my patients personal data
against the Admissions system and it was amazing how my systems was
correct and the "official" one had wrong Names, DOB, Sex, ....

Wouldn't it be nice if whenever we messed up our life we could simply

12 People ( avg ) x 2.5 years = 30 Man years
30 * 50 ( So I'm rounding ) = 1500 Man weeks
1500 / 2 ( longest time to make a VFD app per our notes ) = 700
Seems to me that there must be A LOT of studies going on to Justify that
kind of development.
Just imagine what kind of VFP app with 30 man years effort could have
been made.

You may remember me talking about the Java system at St. Jude. Last Fri
it made the Biz section of our paper. No Web deliver of it :(
Anyway 20 people in total, 12 at a time created this Java wonder that
took First Place in a National Medical Software Competition. It beat
out allot of pharmaceutical stuff. And it raised allot of eyebrows in
Medical Research communities.
Time frame was 2.5 years. It had a few major changes along the way and
because of the Architect it's great. Fully data driven, and a new
researcher can get a custom interface for their study in about 2->10
hours of time. It use to take me 2 days to 2 weeks in my FPD system to
make the necessary changes to the existing forms I had to fit what they
needed new in their current study.
