IRB Webkit

 
     
 

The IRB WebkitT is an advanced web-based toolkit that lets you customize your own IRB database to fit your institution's unique requirements.

Out-of-the-box, the IRB WebKit

  • Lets PIs use the web to submit protocol applications, continuing reviews, amendments, adverse events and violations and deviations.
  • Lets protocol administrators use the web to manage protocols, meetings, researchers, and sponsors.
  • Supports both online and offline processes, i.e. complete forms on the web, upload electronic documents, or mail forms and documents to the protocol office (tracking when they are received)
  • Generates IRB agendas and minutes.
  • Generates approval letters, continuing review notices, etc.
  • Tracks whether study staff members have completed training.
  • Tracks other committee approvals, e.g. pharmacy, radiation safety, etc.

Use the Toolkit to

  • Quickly convert your paper forms into web forms.
  • Specify business rules, e.g. if the protocol involves drugs, ask the PI to complete the pharmacy application and mark the protocol for review by the pharmacy committee.
  • Specify what documents must be uploaded or mailed to the protocol office, e.g. a Word document containing the protocol description.
  • Create / customize mail merge letters, e.g. approval letters, 90/60/30 day continuing review notices, etc.

Implementation Services ensure that your implementation is a success.

Third Sky can provide the following additional services.

  • Configuration - we can help you convert your paper forms to web forms, create read-only PDF forms, create standard mail-merge letters, etc.
  • Customization - when you license the IRB WebKit you get the source code. If you need to change it, who better to ask than the makers of IRB WebKit!
  • Custom Reports - we can create standard reports tailored to your requirements.
  • Data Conversion - we can convert the data from your existing IRB system into the IRB WebKit.
  • System Integrations - we can integrate the IRB WebKit with other systems, e.g. grants and contracts, etc.
  • Training - we can conduct user training using classroom or a train-the-trainer approach. We also provide technical training so your data administrator and technical staff can learn how to configure and customize the IRB WebKit.

Hardware/Software Requirements

The IRB WebKit uses industry standard technologies to support your protocol office and scale to support thousands of researchers. The IRB WebKit can easily handle thousands of new protocols per year.

* Concurrent users is the number of users that are actively requesting a page from the web server at the same time. This number is much lower than the number of users that may be using the application simultaneously and is usually a fraction of the total number of users. Since the total number of users includes both protocol administrators and principal investigators, please contact us and we can help you determine your hardware and software requirements.
