Building research administration applications for the academic health center: a case study.

The academic health center information environment is saturated with information of varying quality and overwhelming quantity. The most significant challenge is transforming data and information into knowledge. The University of Cincinnati Medical Center's (UCMC) focus is to develop an information architecture comprising data structures, Web services, and user interfaces that enable individuals to manage the information overload so that they can create new knowledge.

Integrated advanced information management systems: a twenty-year history at the University of Cincinnati.

The University of Cincinnati (UC) has been active in the National Library of Medicine's Integrated Advanced Information Management Systems (IAIMS) program since IAIMS' inception in 1984. UC received IAIMS planning and modeling grants in the 1980s, spent the 1990s practicing its own form of "iaims" and refining its vision, and, in May 2003, received an IAIMS operations grant in the first round of awards under "the next generation" program. This paper discusses the history of IAIMS at UC and describes the goals, methods, and strategies of the current IAIMS program.

eGrants: University of Cincinnati's Digital grants preparation, workflow routing, and submission system.

Overabundance of largely unorganized and unfiltered information is the greatest information problem facing the faculty, staff, and students of the University of Cincinnati (UC). The goal of UC's IAIMS operations grant is to provide individuals with information that is organized, filtered, context -appropriate, and presented in personalized formats. This presentation will focus on one module, eGrants, of UC's IAIMS research administration system,which will fully digitize the pre-award, post-award, and compliance phases of the grant lifecycle .

Integrating mobile technology into a health professions curriculum: using flexible technology to meet expectations.

The diverse needs of students, faculty, administrators, and the curriculum itself, create formidable challenges when attempting to integrate mobile technology into a health professions curriculum. Single technology solutions often fail in this environment because they cannot meet user needs. Multiple platform and device agnostic solutions can provide the flexibility to address curricular needs without significantly adding technological complexity.

Renal tubular dysfunction in transplanted kidneys.

We studied 15 renal transplant recipients for evidence of tubular dysfunction. Eight patients were hypophosphatemic, and two had systemic acidosis with a urinary acidification defect. Mild aminoaciduria and bicarbonaturia were present in four and 14 patients, respectively.
