A domain model of a clinical reading center - Design and implementation

Annu Int Conf IEEE Eng Med Biol Soc. 2010:2010:4530-3. doi: 10.1109/IEMBS.2010.5626032.

Abstract

In clinical trials huge amounts of raw data are generated. Often these data are submitted to reading centers for being analyzed by experts of that particular type of examination. Although the installment of a reading center can raise the overall quality, they also introduce additional complexity to the management and conduction of a clinical trial. Software can help to handle this complexity. Domain-driven-design is one concept to tackle software development in such complex domains. Here we present our domain model for a clinical reading center, as well as its actual implementation utilizing the Nuxeo enterprise content management system.
