10 Application Overview eResearch at Emory will automate and streamline the current workflow. Paper based submission of protocols makes for a cumbersome review process High cost associated with document duplication and shipping Redundant requests for protocol status Manual workflow management processes has a potential audit trail risk Limited scale with current desktop database repository Current Condition Future State with eResearch at Emory Web browser-based submission of protocols Secure access for authorized users System customizable workflow routing, approval, and documentation processes Virtual document storage Centralized meeting management tools and notifications Online real-time 24x7 system access for protocol management Improved information sharing across committees; e.g. OSP, EHSO, COI etc.
