Designing An On-Line Training System for Multi-Institutional Use

This project aims to create an integrated and advanced information management system for on-line training, compliance, and continuing medical education. It provides on-demand training, tracks training requirements, and offers CME credit opportunities. The system has already been successful, with thousands of compliance courses taken and CME course registrations. The architecture is key, with a web-based integrated database model and common authentication routines. The next steps include improving login alternatives, providing transcripts of courses taken, and using proceeds for further research.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Designing An On-Line Training System for Multi-Institutional Use • Bill Gordon • Academic Information Technology & Libraries • University of Cincinnati Medical Center • April 20, 2004

  2. Thanks To • Integrated Advanced Information Management Systems (IAIMS) project of the National Library of Medicine • AAMC Group on Information Resources • Team Shib

  3. Compliance Training • Funding agencies and federal regulations require researchers, health professionals, and others to undergo professional training • May be one-time or require annual renewal • Universities must provide training as appropriate, document compliance • Blood-Borne Pathogens, HIPAA, Radiation Safety, Animal Care, Human Subjects Research, and more

  4. The eCourses Solution • Provide on-line training on demand • Track on-line & classroom training • Alert people to current, unfulfilled training requirements • Set training requirements automatically, based on DB data • Start with BBP, add HIPAA. More to follow – BioSafety, Lab Animal Medicine, . . .

  5. Continuing Medical Education • Start with on-line calendar of CME lectures, grand rounds • Expand to allow on-line registration • Expand to add some on-Line CME credit opportunities, scored by hand

  6. Current Results • More than 7,000 compliance courses taken, at UC, Health Alliance, and UC Physicians • More than 10,000 CME course registrations • AAMC Group on Information Resources pilot project demonstrated feasibility of providing web-based BBP training for other institutions • CME – Last fall, more than 1,000 requests for on-line credit per month; office staff ready to quit from overwork!

  7. IAIMS • The IAIMS grant provided incentive to integrate, redesign our web apps to: • Provide everyone with SSO from a home page to the apps they use • “Slice and dice” apps as needed to give people access to the functionality they need, without opening a full-scale app • Reduce development time

  8. Architecture is Key (1) • Web apps based on integrated database architecture containing • Identity Management System (Person core) • Subschemas for application data • Media Repository • Extensible model • Application data linked to people via references to IdMS core

  9. Integrated Database Model

  10. Architecture is Key (2) • New architecture guidelines for web apps • Use common authentication routines implemented as web services • Separate authn, authz • Verify authn at page level, authz by functional unit • Use DB-driven “catalog data” when appropriate, to reduce coding • First examples – On-line CME course, and BioSafety training courses • http://cme.uc.edu

  16. CME ON-Line Training (6)

  17. CME ON-Line Training (7)

  18. CME ON-Line Training (8)

  19. CME ON-Line Training (9)

  20. Next Steps – Shibbolize . . . • Add Shib-based login alternative to authn routine • Create user record on initial Shib login (Name, PersistentId) • Use AAMC identifier to “glue” one person’s logins from different sites

  21. And Collect! • Provide users with transcripts for on-line CME courses taken; collect fees from drug companies • Provide outside universities with transcripts of compliance training provided to their staffers; collect fees from the universities • Use proceeds to fund further research
