Designing An On-Line Training System for Multi-Institutional Use • Bill Gordon • Academic Information Technology & Libraries • University of Cincinnati Medical Center • April 20, 2004
Thanks To • Integrated Advanced Information Management Systems (IAIMS) project of the National Library of Medicine • AAMC Group on Information Resources • Team Shib
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
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, . . .
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
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!
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
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
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
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
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
