Problem-Oriented Medical Information System From Wikipedia, the free
encyclopedia

The Problem-Oriented Medical Information System, or PROMIS, was a
hypertext system specially designed for maintaining health care
records. PROMIS was developed at the University of Vermont in 1976,
primarily by Jan Schultz and Dr. Larry Weed. Apparently, the developers
of Carnegie Mellon University's
ZOG system
were so impressed with PROMIS that it reinspired them to return to
their own work.

PROMIS was an interactive, touch screen system that allowed users to
access a medical record within a large body of medical knowledge. At
its peak, the PROMIS system had over 60,000 frames of knowledge. PROMIS
was also known for its fast responsiveness, especially for its time.

mechanism. The broad objectives of the PROMIS network are to: Develop
and test a large bank of items measuring patient-reported outcomes
Create a computerized adaptive testing system that allows for
efficient, psychometrically robust assessment of patient-reported
outcomes in clinical research involving a wide range of chronic
diseases Create a publicly available system that can be added to and

Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System

Welcome to PROMIS!

In late 2004, a group of outcomes scientists from seven institutions
and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) formed a cooperative
network funded under the NIH Roadmap for Medical Research Initiative to
re-engineer the clinical research enterprise.

This initiative the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information
System (PROMIS)aims to revolutionize the way patient-reported outcome
tools are selected and employed in clinical research and practice
evaluation. It will also establish a national resource for accurate and
efficient measurement of patient-reported symptoms and other health
outcomes in clinical practice.

As part of the NIH Roadmap, NIH funded six primary research sites and a
statistical coordinating center as the PROMIS network. PROMIS aims to
develop ways to measure patient-reported symptoms, such as pain and
fatigue, and aspects of health-related quality of life across a wide
variety of chronic diseases and conditions. "There is a pressing need
to better quantify clinically important symptoms and outcomes that are
now difficult to measure," says NIH Director Elias A. Zerhouni, MD.
"Our clinical research communities would benefit greatly from
efficient, consistent, well-validated approaches to measuring these and
other subjective outcomes."

Clinical outcome measures, such as x-rays and lab tests, have minimally
immediate relevance to the day-to-day functioning of patients with
chronic diseases such as arthritis, multiple sclerosis, and asthma, as
well as chronic pain conditions. Often, the best way patients can judge
the effectiveness of treatments is by perceived changes in symptoms.
One main goal of the PROMIS initiative is to develop a set of publicly
available computerized adaptive tests for the clinical research
community.

The NIH Roadmap is a series of far-reaching initiatives designed to
transform the Nations medical research capabilities and speed the
movement of research discoveries from the bench to the bedside. It
provides a framework of the priorities NIH must address to optimize its
entire research portfolio, and it lays out a vision for a more
efficient and productive system of medical research. For more
information about the NIH Roadmap, please visit the Web site at
http://www.nihroadmap.nih.gov.

NIH---PROMIS -- HHS

NIH to Develop Network for Quantifying Patient-Reported Outcomes

As part of the NIH Roadmap for Medical Research, the National
Institutes of Health (NIH), part of the Department of Health and Human
Services [HHS], provided approximately $6 million in fiscal year 2004
to fund six primary research sites and a statistical coordinating
center for a Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System
(PROMIS) network. This trans-NIH initiative, managed by the National
Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS),
aims to develop ways to measure patient-reported symptoms such as pain
and fatigue and aspects of health-related quality of life across a wide
variety of chronic diseases and conditions.

David Cella, Ph.D., of Northwestern University will run the statistical
coordinating center. The principal investigators for the six primary
research sites are: Dagmar Amtmann, Ph.D., of the University of
Washington in Seattle; James Fries, M.D., of Stanford University; Harry
Guess, M.D., of University of North Carolina; Paul Pilkonis, Ph.D., of
University of Pittsburgh; Kevin Schulman, M.D., of Duke University; and
Arthur Stone, Ph.D., of the Stony Brook School of Medicine. These
investigators will work together to develop measurement instruments to
meet the needs of clinical researchers across a wide variety of chronic
conditions.


THE FBI FAILURE Regarding PROMIS

Posted: JUN 11, 2005 07:19:29 AM

I am following news about FBIs efforts to modernize their
computer-based information exchange technology for at least 2 years. I
have also studied in depth some previous VCM systems, including the
PROMIS software (the one from the 1980s and a new Promis developed by
Inslaw Inc. in Washinton,DC in the 1990s. It seems that a huge
corporation (SAIC) had not enough expertize in the VCF and
client/server systems. They turned to INSLAW INC. for help at some time
but political considerations prevented the hiring of Inslaw Inc. for
the job, as a subcontractor. It seems to be a good time now for the FBI
IT chief to seek a cooperation of Inslaw Inc. in order to develop a
workable VCF system, based on the NEW PROMIS software.

tools are selected and employed in clinical research and practice
evaluation. It will also establish a national resource for accurate and
efficient measurement of patient-reported symptoms and other health
outcomes in clinical practice.

As part of the NIH Roadmap, NIH funded six primary research sites and a
statistical coordinating center as the PROMIS network. PROMIS aims to
develop ways to measure patient-reported symptoms, such as pain and
fatigue, and aspects of health-related quality of life across a wide
variety of chronic diseases and conditions. "There is a pressing need
to better quantify clinically important symptoms and outcomes that are
now difficult to measure," says NIH Director Elias A. Zerhouni, MD.
"Our clinical research communities would benefit greatly from
efficient, consistent, well-validated approaches to measuring these and
other subjective outcomes."

Clinical outcome measures, such as x-rays and lab tests, have minimally
immediate relevance to the day-to-day functioning of patients with
chronic diseases such as arthritis, multiple sclerosis, and asthma, as
well as chronic pain conditions. Often, the best way patients can judge
the effectiveness of treatments is by perceived changes in symptoms.
One main goal of the PROMIS initiative is to develop a set of publicly
available computerized adaptive tests for the clinical research
community.

The NIH Roadmap is a series of far-reaching initiatives designed to
transform the Nations medical research capabilities and speed the
movement of research discoveries from the bench to the bedside. It
provides a framework of the priorities NIH must address to optimize its
entire research portfolio, and it lays out a vision for a more
efficient and productive system of medical research. For more

NIH---PROMIS -- HHS

NIH to Develop Network for Quantifying Patient-Reported Outcomes

As part of the NIH Roadmap for Medical Research, the National
Institutes of Health (NIH), part of the Department of Health and Human
Services [HHS], provided approximately $6 million in fiscal year 2004
to fund six primary research sites and a statistical coordinating
center for a Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System
(PROMIS) network. This trans-NIH initiative, managed by the National
Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS),
aims to develop ways to measure patient-reported symptoms such as pain
and fatigue and aspects of health-related quality of life across a wide
variety of chronic diseases and conditions.

David Cella, Ph.D., of Northwestern University will run the statistical
coordinating center. The principal investigators for the six primary
research sites are: Dagmar Amtmann, Ph.D., of the University of
Washington in Seattle; James Fries, M.D., of Stanford University; Harry
Guess, M.D., of University of North Carolina; Paul Pilkonis, Ph.D., of
University of Pittsburgh; Kevin Schulman, M.D., of Duke University; and
Arthur Stone, Ph.D., of the Stony Brook School of Medicine. These
investigators will work together to develop measurement instruments to
meet the needs of clinical researchers across a wide variety of chronic
conditions.


THE FBI FAILURE Regarding PROMIS

Posted: JUN 11, 2005 07:19:29 AM

I am following news about FBIs efforts to modernize their
computer-based information exchange technology for at least 2 years. I
have also studied in depth some previous VCM systems, including the
PROMIS software (the one from the 1980s and a new Promis developed by
Inslaw Inc. in Washinton,DC in the 1990s. It seems that a huge
corporation (SAIC) had not enough expertize in the VCF and
client/server systems. They turned to INSLAW INC. for help at some time
but political considerations prevented the hiring of Inslaw Inc. for
the job, as a subcontractor. It seems to be a good time now for the FBI
IT chief to seek a cooperation of Inslaw Inc. in order to develop a
workable VCF system, based on the NEW PROMIS software.

David M. Dastych journalist, agency owner David's Media Agency

OUR MAN FROM PROMIS software -- Mike Leavitt, HHS

.... We all trusted GW Bush with our armies, our reservists, our Fannie
Mae home loan mortgage funding [nearly 1.5 trillion dollars in debt,
most of it to the Chinese via our Treasury Bonds, our No Child nor
Katrina Victim Left Behind, our 'humming' factories and colleges, and
our belovedly efficient public elementary and high schools, now, the
Dept. of Health and Human Services [HHS] is happy to announce, our wise
and noble leader will further benefit us with electronic data online
Promis Software support of our medical records and prescription
data...to go global database with the help of Mike Leavitt, Secretary
of HHS.

In the next 500 days the Secretary Mike Leavitt [HHS manages Medicare,
NIH, CDC, and Head Start] will concentrate on the following for ALL of
us in the USA ...

Creating an integrated PROMIS electronic network of privacy-protected
population electronic data and medical records, genetic information and
medical records to accelerate discoveries that will define an
individuals risk of disease, response to treatment and likelihood of a
side effect.

Building PROMIS interdisciplinary research teams that combine skills
and knowledge from the biological, physical and social sciences to
yield biomedical insights that could not have been achieved by a
single-discipline non-PROMIS approach.

Improving the clinical research network to advance better prevention,
early diagnosis and treatment of disease.

Implementing a comprehensive plan for obesity research that will
maximize collaboration among HHS stakeholders.

In 5,000 days, the Secretary sees a nation in which PROMIS SOFTWARE
will...

Medications are safer and more effective because they are chosen based
on the patients personal PROMIS online medical data characteristics.
Research results more quickly benefit people and healthcare needs more
quickly become research leads. Secretary Leavitt's 500-Day Plan

for the PROMIS SOFTWARE Healthcare System

In 5,000 days, the Secretary sees a nation in which ... Nearly all
health records can be linked through an PROMIS interoperable system
that 'protects' privacy as it connects patients, providers and payers
resulting in fewer medical mistakes, less hassle, lower costs and
better health, perhaps as well as our national health care
superstructure looks after us today!

Consumers are better informed and have more choices. Wellness and
prevention are sought as rigorously as treatment.

New drugs and innovation are rapidly approved and continually monitored
afterwards, and new PROMIS information is proactively communicated to
providers and patients. Payers reward providers for healthy outcomes as
well as quantity of care and services.

12-14 million more Americans have health insurance. Inequalities in
health care are eliminated. Common sense medical liability reform makes
health care more affordable and accessible for all Americans. In the
next 500 days the Secretary will concentrate on ...

Expressing a clear vision of health information technology that conveys
the PROMIS benefits to patients, providers and payers.

Convening a national PROMIS SOFTWARE collaboration to further develop,
set and certify health information technology standards and outcomes
for interoperability, privacy and data exchange.

Realizing the near-term benefits of health information technology in
the focused areas of adverse drug-incident reporting, e-prescribing,
lab and claims-sharing data, clinic registrations and insurance forms.

Creating a drug safety board to monitor and respond to post-market
adverse drug incidents.

Fulfilling the Presidents goals for PROMIS community health center
expansion. Enabling state insurance pools, association health plans and
tax credits for workers unable to afford insurance.

Supporting PROMIS community-based approaches to closing the healthcare
gap, particularly among racial and ethnic minority populations,
including American Indians and Alaska Natives. Pushing for medical
liability reform.

WHAT IS PROMIS 2 AND WHAT DOES IT DO?

PROMIS 2 stands for Prosecutor's Management Information System.

In the late 1970s the legal system of the United States Department of
Justice (DoJ) was comprised of more than thirty semi-autonomous
regional U.S. Attorneys (USA) offices. Each had a computer system to
track case management for prosecutions,

investigations, and civil litigations. The problem was that they used
as many as seven different programming languages. This made the
transmission and sharing of information between offices virtually
impossible. The computers in the USA's office in San Francisco could
not read files sent from the USA in New York.

The genius of Hamilton and Inslaw was to create a software program that
could access files in any number of databases and programming languages
and translate and then unify them into one consistent file. Promis was
the Rosetta stone of computer languages.

Inslaw won a $10 million, three-year contract in March 1982 to install
a 16-bit architecture version of Promis, which the government had the
right to use but not the right to modify without paying license fees to
Inslaw, on government computers in the 22 largest U.S. Attorneys'
Offices. In April 1983, the second year of the three-year contract, the
government modified Inslaw's contract in order to obtain delivery of a
32-bit architecture version of Promis, which the government could not
even use without paying license fees. In modifying the contract, the
government promised to pay license fees if it decided to substitute the
32-bit version for the 16-bit version. In May 1983, the month following
Inslaw's delivery of the 32-bit version of Promis, the government
reneged on its contractual agreement to pay license fees and
simultaneously began to find fault with Inslaw's implementation
services as justification for withholding services payments.

The Justice Department thereafter withheld $1.77 million in services
payments forcing Inslaw to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in
February 1985. In January 1988, following several weeks of trial in
1987, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court issued fully litigated findings of fact
that the Justice Department "took, converted, stole" the 32-bit version
of Promis "through trickery, fraud and deceit," implemented the 32-bit
version of Promis in the 44 largest U.S. Attorneys Offices, and then
tried to force INSLAW out of business in order to incapacitate INSLAW
from litigating the Justice Department's theft of Promis. The
Bankruptcy Court imposed a compulsory license on the 44 largest U.S.
Attorneys Offices for the perpetual use of the 32-bit version of Promis
and issued a permanent injunction against any further dissemination of
Promis by the government except under license from Inslaw.

Subsequent appeals by the government saw the original rulings
overturned on legal, not factual, grounds. Legal actions in the case
continue to this day. Hamilton told FTW that none of the uses described
above had anything to do with any licensing agreements for the
software's use to track terrorists, intelligence matters or worldwide
financial transactions.

The paper tracking of the refinements in Promis after the legal dispute
erupted between INSLAW and the Reagan administration, verifies that at
least one version of Promis was given to Martin Marietta, now
Lockheed-Martin, which is now the nation's second largest defense
contractor.

Consultants, Cleverex, Caliber Consulting, IBM Research Israel, NIH,
and your neighborhood NeoCon arms dealers]

The groups above ARE REALLY TEE'D OFF with the French public/protests,
and their wise rebellion against these PROMIS and GLOBAL OUTSOURCING
forces!

PROMIS & NIH ... you GOTTA click here to believe it!

Problem-Oriented Medical Information System From Wikipedia, the free
encyclopedia

The Problem-Oriented Medical Information System, or PROMIS, was a
hypertext system specially designed for maintaining health care
records. PROMIS was developed at the University of Vermont in 1976,
primarily by Jan Schultz and Dr. Larry Weed. Apparently, the developers
of Carnegie Mellon University's
ZOG system
were so impressed with PROMIS that it reinspired them to return to
their own work.

PROMIS was an interactive, touch screen system that allowed users to
access a medical record within a large body of medical knowledge. At
its peak, the PROMIS system had over 60,000 frames of knowledge. PROMIS
was also known for its fast responsiveness, especially for its time.

PROMIS [Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System]

http://www.angelfire.com/blog/promis/

The NIH and CDC and HHS are planning on having all Americans' Medical
Records online via PROMIS --- can anybody stand the wait? In God We
Trust is written on our currency! Why doubt it? God and Country, what
could be more reliable, especially today!

The PHRMA pharmaceutical industry lobby is 1000% behind this PROMIS all
knowing omnipresent software development.

On a sad note, Dr. Harry Guess from the University of North
Carolina-Chapel Hill passed on Jan 1, 2006 from cancer and contributed
to the PROMIS project right up until his death. He was incredibly
devoted to PROMIS and believed in its potential. For more details go to
Obituary for Harry Guess

Welcome to PROMIS!In late 2004, a group of outcomes scientists from
seven institutions and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) formed a
cooperative network funded under the NIH Roadmap for Medical Research
Initiative to re-engineer the clinical research enterprise.

This initiative the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information
System (PROMIS) aims to revolutionize the way patient-reported outcome
tools are selected and employed in clinical research and practice
evaluation. It will also establish a national resource for accurate and
efficient measurement of patient-reported symptoms and other health
outcomes in clinical practice.

Remember PROMIS? It was developed in the early 1990s
to be used by federal prosecutors to manage cases, but the creators of
the software claim that the federal goverment stole it from them and
turned it into software to monitor spies and enemies. A journalist
investigating the case died under mysterious circumstances.

NORMAN: First of all you sell to front companies like this company
Systematics in Arkansas, now called Alltel Information Services. They
had another company called Boston Systematics, an affiliate based in
Israel mainly. There is Robert Maxwell, the UK publisher, who is
fronting this stuff. There are a whole bunch of people fronting this.
QUINN: Wait a minute, Robert Maxwell -- isn't he dead?
NORMAN: Yeah, he is now.
QUINN: Didn't he have an unfortunate accident?

Synergy Biomedical Name Changes to ICF Biomedical

New Identity for ICF Consulting Subsidiary Builds on Strength and
Recognition of Parent Company

WASHINGTON, DC, February 21, 2006 -

ICF Consulting announced today that the company's Synergy Biomedical
subsidiary now will be known as ICF Biomedical. Synergy Biomedical, a
California-based biomedical consulting firm, was acquired in 2005 by
ICF Consulting. An overview of ICF Biomedical's services can be found
on the Web at http://www.icfconsulting.com/biomedical.

ICF will help Medicare and Medicaid, with HHS Secretary Mike Leavitt's
help, to spend nearly a trillion taxpayers' dollars on something like
PROMIS, if not in fact on PROMIS itself. Let's wait and see and study
this very interesting development!


Big Brother's PROMIS to us All ! HHS Secretary Mike Leavitt welcomes
military-corporatists contractors one and all, just as long as they
OUTSOURCE us all to HELL, and that is his PROMIS!
