Notes:
The CALM tool is used to prepare on-line clinical
assessment entry forms, create the corresponding assessment
meta-data in the underlying database and associate the assessment
scores with the form elements on the on-line form that allows for
the easy input and query of a variety of numerical and
non-numerical data. In a clinical or research setting CALM can be
used to streamline the development of online forms for patients’
and subjects’ data entry and for the easy maintenance and update of
the ever-growing number of clinical assessments. The CALM package
can generate online forms that accurately replicate any paper and
pencil form, while the GAME package operates the CALM generated
interface and allows for effortless quality assurance (QA) checks
and clinical and research data queries. CALM provides functionality
to build a new assessment from scratch or work with an already
existing assessment in the HID database storing the layout and
assessment association information in XML format.
The applications’ versatility is not limited to clinical forms; in
fact, CALM/GAME can be used for the translation, maintenance and
query of any paper and pencil form into an online form.
From a developer view point these are the highlights of the
package:
•Efficiency: to speed up form designing CALM/GAME use user defined
templates
•Accessibility: no Java, Javascript, or JSP coding experience is
required to generate form objects
•Friendly output: the package can build forms with the similar
layout as paper forms for easy data entry
From a CALM-based interface user view point these are the
highlights of the package:
•A user friendly interface that permits data entry using a point
and click, intuitive format.
•Built in double data entry as a cautionary step to validate the
accuracy of data submitted for entry
•Build in graphical user interface allowing ability for easy data
search/query/retrieval for QA queries or clinical/research
questions (or in general relevant questions for any form data)
