E-DIMEM: an economic model to estimate the costs of e-disease management.

In order to estimate the cost of generic clinical guidelines based on telemedicine services for chronic patients, an economic model (E-DIMEM) has been defined. This model is designed to help health suppliers and managers to plan for the future. It is essentially a workflow composed by diagnosis and therapeutic activities. The cost of each workflow activity is related to healthcare providers (activity agents), drugs, instruments, telemedicine services, and type of specialized healthcare centers used (hospital, clinics, etc.). This model performs multidimensional analysis. A web service based on the E-DIMEM has been implemented.

WITH: a system to write clinical trials using XML and RDBMS.

The paper illustrates the system WITH (Write on Internet clinical Trials in Haematology) which supports the writing of a clinical trial (CT) document. The requirements of this system have been defined analysing the writing process of a CT and then modelling the content of its sections together with their logical and temporal relationships. The system WITH allows: a) editing the document text; b) re-using the text; and c) facilitating the cooperation and the collaborative writing. It is based on XML mark-up language, and on a RDBMS. This choice guarantees: a) process standardisation; b) process management; c) efficient delivery of information-based tasks; and d) explicit focus on process design.
