vaCTMS: The Mother of All Clinical Trial Portals

Having recently returned from a CBI conference in Philadelphia entitled the inaugural, 1^st ever "Investigator Portals something…" I'm convinced more than ever that by some happy accident VA (that's the Department of Veterans Affairs) has been sitting on the Holy Grail, Mother of All Clinical Trial Portals since 2003 and doesn't even realize it. It's like dusting off a DaVinci from a yard sale. Except this one still's got the dust on it. Paul Bleicher (ya gotta like this guy) of PhaseForward fame journaled a while back that it will be some years before industry comes up with a truly paperless trial management system with fully integrated EDC/CTMS. Well Paul, I'm here to tell you, it's been sitting under your nose since 2003 and if it was a snake, it would have bit all of us.

"The System" is affectionately referred to as the vaCTMS. Clever. VA is looking to transfer this technology so they can make some noise, "benefiting veterans through research". I agree that it can and will do everything possible to make this happen.

So to get a piece of this territory before the shark feed all you've got to do is pick up the phone and dial david.rose@va.gov.

Word.
