Abstract

Some multicenter clinical studies require the acquisition of clinical specimens from patients, and the centralized management and analysis of clinical specimens at a research institution. In such cases, it is necessary to manage clinical specimens with anonymized patient information. In addition, clinical specimens need to be managed in connection with clinical information in clinical studies. In this study, we have developed a clinical specimen information management system that works with electronic data capture system for efficient specimen information management and the system workflow has verified at Osaka University Hospital. In addition, by combining this system with medical image collection system that we have developed previously, the integrated management of clinical information, medical image, and clinical specimen information will become possible. This specimen information management system may be expected to provide the platform for integrated analysis utilizing clinical information, medical image, and data from clinical specimens in multicenter clinical studies.
