Peller and Mary Waters International Trade Specialist with the Georgia Department of Economic Development. Peller a rheumatologist at Harbin Clinic recently spoke to state officials about Harbin?s clinical research and its significance to patients and physicians. He emphasized the role the clinic plays in participating in trials. Harbin currently has 11 ongoing pharmaceutical device and registry studies in which approximately 420 patient subjects participate. These are in the areas of osteoarthritis rheumatoid arthritis gout recurrent ovarian cancer cardiology devices breast implants and acute coronary syndrome. Peller has been involved in 40 clinical trials in his 24 years of practice since joining Harbin Clinic in 1985.

With the swine flu pandemic claiming its first victim in Middlesex County recently a vaccine can not come fast enough. “We were chosen because of our good reputation” said Marcia Collins owner and president of Anderson & Collins Clinical Research the township-based clinic chosen to study the flu immunization. ACCRINC is an independent clinical research site in operation in Central Jersey area for more than 14 years. The research facility was founded by Marcia Collins in 1995. It works in collaboration with pharmaceutical company sponsors and contract research organizations to conduct clinical drug studies for various illnesses such as osteoarthritis migraines hypertension high cholesterol fibromyalgia and osteoporosis as well as wellness and vaccine trials. Collins was an Army nurse from Greene N.

ne need only look at the many recent examples of failed regional health information organizations—and their successful counterparts—to appreciate the importance of effective governance structures regulatory policies and properly aligned organizational incentives in establishing and sustaining an effective distributed health data network (5). In addition to these prerequisites developers and those who attempt to leverage HIT resources have recognized even more fundamental issues inherent to reusing clinical data. Although systems to enable clinical research from large health information collections have been around for some time (6–9) they have often been criticized because the quality and comprehensiveness of the clinical data were not up to research standards or the analytical methods used to overcome these limitations were inadequate to overcome systematic biases inherent to data collected primarily for clinical care (10–12). Has data quality improved since the time of these earlier systems? In recent years increased data capture in electronic systems improvements in the speed and standardization of data transfers between systems and the ability to leverage data from multiple clinical sources (such as objective test results or therapeutic information) have reduced the oft-criticized reliance on administrative and billing data sources. However no purely technical solution can overcome the capture of inaccurate information by the user of a clinical information system. As such nontechnical innovations that help improve the accuracy of recorded information and incentivize consistently accurate data collection are critical to the success of research initiatives that rely on the presence of such data. Is data capture more comprehensive now than in the earlier systems? Comprehensive data capture all relevant exposures and outcomes features that are essential to meaningful comparative effectiveness assessments.
