Penn State Institute for Diabetes and Obesity

Registry

The Penn State Institute for Diabetes and Obesity (PSIDO) Registry system is a custom built application that assists in tracking clinical outcomes for diabetes patients.  This application is available in all Hershey Medical Center (HMC) Primary Care Clinics and currently has approximately 9,500 patient registrants.  Automated Registry processes capture patients seen in any of the HMC primary care clinics by billing diagnostic code and automatically add them to the registry.  Additional processes import laboratory data from the Hospital Laboratory System to provide the user quick access to new patient data.  Any additional data captured during a patient visit is data entered by HMC staff.

After data has been entered into the system, it can be accessed using the application’s reporting module. Two main reports are available: an Overdue/Value Report and a Patient Profile. The Overdue/Value Report allows the user to query the database for patients either due for routine screening tests or those with laboratory values outside of a custom range.  The Patient Profile acts as a real-time flow sheet for tracking of clinical outcomes and provides reminders for tests that are due.
 

The registry is managed by R. Scott Mincemoyer, R.N., B.S.   You can contact the Registry Manager by e-mailing rxm164@psu.edu

 

 

The PSIDO Registry is entirely web-based and can be accessed from any computer with high speed Internet access.  The Registry application was developed using Macromedia Coldfusion MX 7 and an Oracle 10g database.  The application utilizes 128-bit Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption.  The SSL protocol provides data security layered between application protocols, such as Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) and Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).  Each user desiring access to the application must obtain a username and password.  The user’s access to information is restricted by pre-defined roles.
