 Our PROMIS keeps growing
The BC Renal Agency’s PROMIS database is generating impressive statistics in its work towards providing support and value to the renal community across the province. During the last year the system was called upon to generate over 250,000 end-user reports – a 30 percent increase from the previous year.
The technical team behind PROMIS – which stands for patient record/registration and outcome management information system – currently provides help to 600 users and responds to 15 calls for support every day. Over the past year the group has also provided training sessions for 113 new system users.
Within the PROMIS database, the volume of data increases by about 35 percent each year. During 2007 there were 5.2 million individual lab results automatically uploaded to the system, and 250,000 results entered manually. Altogether, the system contains 22.7 million lab results.
