Abstract

RODRIGUEZ GARCIA, Lucía et al. ALASCLÍNICAS: Clinical trial management system. RCIM [online]. 2012, vol.4, n.1, pp. 5-16. ISSN 1684-1859.

To achieve the administration of the Clinical Trials, several electronic systems in the world have been carried out, among them, the OpenClinica system, which embraces great part of the processes in the administration of the Clinical Trials in the Molecular Immunology Center in Cuba, but not the entirety of these processes.
