As a leading hospital in northern Germany, we are heavily involved in a medical project study. The software we are looking for must meet the following requirements:

First and foremost, we need software that can be used to plan a study for the examiners and participants. Participants spend around eight hours at the study center, moving between different rooms for various examinations. Participants have an iPad or a piece of paper in their folder showing where their next examination will take place. The examiners have a similar schedule. Based on their skills and specializations, they can see when they are assigned to which rooms for which examinations. This results in the following groups:

Researchers -> Skills, times, rooms, participants

Participants -> Examination, times, rooms

Rooms -> Examination, times, participants, researchers

The greatest effort here is spontaneous rescheduling when a researcher or participant does not show up or is not available. Therefore, a modular shifting of time slots would be very helpful.

It would be nice to have the schedules distributed as a website. These could be accessed from any workstation or iPad. Editing takes place centrally in one place and is automatically updated when a new change is approved.

Another key requirement is that no online connection is possible due to the hospital IT system's double-protected network. The website should therefore be hostable locally. In extreme emergencies, it should be possible to activate a specific website. A cloud solution is not an option.

Approximately 35 software workstations are planned. Work is carried out in an MS Windows system landscape.

Based on the specific requirements, the following solutions can be considered:

Projektron BCS - Web-based project management software
in-STEP BLUE
myPARM - Multi-project management software
