Research Program

With the SOP-Creator we have developed a software tool which aims to support Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). The research program contains the following tasks:

• The definition of a typology of SOPs or standardized guidelines in the domain of clinical trials (e.g. clinical trial management, biometrics, information technology)
• The development of a software tool which supports the creation, administration and distribution of SOPs (SOP-Creator stage 1)
• The definition of target groups for SOPs as well as the the harmonization of the designations for these target groups
• The conception of methods for the semanitic structuring of standardized guidelines
• The extension of the SOP-Creator by adding further funcitonalities, e.g. different user views (SOP-Creator stage 2).

The development of the SOP-Creator is being conducted within the context of subproject 2 "Telematics and Computer-based Quality Management in a Communication Network" at the Institute for Medical Informatics, Statistics and Epidemiology (IMISE), University of Leipzig. This subproject is sponsored by the German Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) as part of the Malignant Lymphoma Competence Network.
