Network Partners: Not Applicable.
Project Purpose: Implement
an electronic oncology patient management system
to consolidate the patient’s disease,
treatment, and demographic/ insurance information
in one database to improve and streamline vital
cancer care and research for the New Jersey
community.
Outcomes Expected: Capacity
to monitor patient response to treatment through
successful Protocol specific data capture; improved
quality standards of care for oncology patients
through embedded continuous monitoring and
measurement of key patient care processes; improved
capacity to monitor patients undergoing clinical
trials through integration of disparate information.
Service Area: Bergen County,
NJ and the entire metropolitan New York Area.
Services Provided: In 1998
the information technology infrastructure began
by automating the pharmacy, and rolling out
electronic medical records. The Soarian Implementation
has begun with Patient Accounts, and there
are plans to add ICU, Oncology, Emergency/Trauma,
Pediatrics, Cardiology, and Radiology.
Equipment: Wireless workstations,
handheld devices including pocket sized PCs
and Lifebooks.
Transmission: Data are available
through the interconnectivity of the data/voice/video
network infrastructure, clinical and financial
systems, the HUMC intranet, the physician extranet
(ISP), and a patient portal. Data links
between Soarian Oncology module and current
systems will be built using HL7 interfaces.

Network Partners: Not Applicable.
Project Purpose: To develop
of a premier Center for Biomedical Imaging on
the School of Medicine campus at the University
of Nevada, Reno (UNR). This Center will support
biomedical research within the School and the
community of scientists at the University who
have a need for high-end confocal microscopy.
Resources will be used for purchasing several
scanning confocal microscopes, and for hiring
professional personnel who will operate the
instrument and be responsible for training of
this
technology to graduate students, post-doctoral
fellows, and the School of Medicine’s
scientists.
Outcomes Expected: New multi-photon
confocal microscopy instrumentation in a Center
for Biomedical Imaging will directly benefit
School scientists by providing access to technology
that does not presently exist in the region.
The Center will facilitate the development of
collegiality and interdisciplinary interaction
of scientists. A secondary benefit will be the
nurturing of excitement for scientific exploration
in the next generation of undergraduate and
graduate students, and postdoctoral fellows
who come to School of Medicine scientists for
mentoring.
Service Area: The service
area will be the campus of the University of
Nevada, Reno, which is located in Washoe County
of northern Nevada. This is the area of focused
services. Extension of services beyond the UNR
boundary will be promoted, but is predicted
to be infrequent.
Services Provided: The goal
of this award is to improve access to the latest
technology for biomedical imaging, i.e., visualization
and recording of the dynamic interactions among
and/or within cells, including molecular-cellular
interactions. This technology does not exist
at our institution.
Equipment: Three Scanning
Confocal Microscopes including: two-Olympus
FV-300 and one Olympus FV-1000 microscopes.
One Spectra-Physics sapphire: titanium laser.
Transmission: Not Applicable.

Network Partners: Not Applicable.
Project Purpose: The Medical
Technology Center for Infants and Children is
a multi-disciplinary entity, which will conduct
basic and clinical research in pediatric biomedical
engineering and technology. By partnering with
Drexel University, and NJIT, as well as collaborating
with other academic and corporate sources, the
Center will allow for the successful, and expedient
integration of pediatric medicine and engineering.
Technology developed by the Center will ultimately
be of international benefit in both the pediatric
and adult medical fields. Initial foci for research
will include Light Emitting Diode Near-
Infrared Spectroscopy, Blue Light Emitting Diode
Phototherapy, and the Heart Rate variabilityAnalysis.
Outcomes Expected: 1) Light
Emitting Diode Near-Infrared Spectroscopy will
be studied in order to develop new tissue oxygen
measurement systems that will allow for accurate
fetal, neonatal, and pediatric brain oxymetry.
In the pilot study, a prototype device will
be used to assess the accuracy and effectiveness
of an LED based NIRS system for data collection
in newborns receiving Surfactant therapy. 2)
A Blue Light Emitting Diode Phototherapy system
will be developed and tested for efficacy in
the treatment of Neonatal Jaundice and will
be planned for the management of Crigler-Najjar
Syndrome. 3) Heart rate variability Analysis
(Spectral Analysis and Cepstral Analysis) will
be studied as a predictor of neonatal sepsis,
and as a tool to help predict neonatal outcomes.
