Lesson+6+The+Best+Solution

[|Would Your Business Benefit from a Wiki?]

As I mentioned in Lesson 4 I believe the best solution would be to implement a Wiki-based educational resource. Its a solution that can be implemented much faster, cheaper, and using less resources. The Wiki can be designed in several ways. I feel the best way would be to design it around particular groups of people. Each of those groups of people would be directed to resources designed particularly for their needs. In our case the groups could be Investigators, Doctors, and Administrators. With a break up in information, it will prevent people from getting lost in the website trying to find the small piece of information that they need. Another great aspect is that its a very simple tool to use, thus many of the participants won't need to spend hours getting trained to use a new system, such as was the case when the EPEX system first got introduced to Emory.

The cited article above mentions how one of the best uses for a Wiki is for internal documentation and project flow. This is essentially the root of the problem for the research submission process at Emory. There is a huge lack of internal documentation and project flow guidelines for people to use when they are going to try to submit a research project.
