Does anyone have any experience of electronic document management systems -
sourcing, implementing or using ?
A colleague has been seconded to a large-scale research project, where the
use of an edms is being considered. The project will run for 7 years and
involves collaboration with partner Universities and health services in
several other countries (compiling and sharing personal information) - so
we are also slightly concerned about any implications this may have re.
data protection and related legislation (how does the international
perspective affect things ?)
We would be interested to hear from anyone who has been involved in the
information management side of any large research project (not necessarily
just health-related); and from anyone who has experience of, and/ or
thoughts on, the range, value, and potential pitfalls of edms currently
available.
Any advice or suggestions would be very helpful. Thank you,
Ishbel MacKinnon.
