Careful management of user rights grants access to data and features in ^TDBioBank according to user profiles. This managed access guarantees confidentiality for patients and their samples. In multisite biorepositories and biobanks, you can define site groups to limit how much information is shared across sites. Information can be shared according to a site’s needs:

• List of patients
• List of resources
• Specific collections
• Specific protocols

^TDBioBank software also offers a feature allowing patient anonymity to be irreversible through a hashing process, while ensuring the ability to update all patient data through a chaining method. This feature avoids the use of correspondence tables, and is not only saving significant time for users but is also essential in protecting patient confidentiality.

Yes: ^TDBioBank software facilitates data import, for example, when you implement the ^TDBioBank solution or when you import collections from another biobank or biorepository. You can:

• Import data easily and autonomously
• Check the quality of biological resources before you import them into production

Yes: ^TDBioBank software allows users to run simple or complex queries, using the many fields in the application (biological resources, protocols, bioclinical annotations forms, and so on) and export the data. You can export the results to a Microsoft® Excel® file or to a file containing values separated by delimiters (CSV ​​format). You can use the generated files right away, with no additional processing. The extracted data allows you to:

• Edit rich collection catalogs
  
• Extract data
• Establish statistics

Simple and ergonomic, ^TDBioBank software allows you to add a family component to your resource information. In just a few clicks, you can have a graphical representation of a patient’s family history.

The family component is used to study genetic diseases and family history, and to analyze risks to the patient.

The family component allows to associates individuals in the family tree with patients registered in the TD-Biobank® database, creating family ties.  The pedigree chart uses symbols recommended by the International Standardized Human Pedigree Nomenclature.

You can configure the display of the pedigree chart according to your requirements.

^TDBioBank software makes it easier for your biological resource center to obtain certification to NF S 96-900, and laboratory accreditation to ISO 15189. ^TDBioBank provides the following features to help meet regulatory requirements:

• Full traceability of biological resources and their affiliations
• Data security
  
• Data confidentiality
• Consent management
  
• Non-conformity management
• Publication of catalogs of collections
  

 

In addition, ^TDBioBank software has the following features to effectively manage your biological resource center:

• Data enriched by clinical and biological annotations
• Optimization of storage locations
• Management of research protocols
• Creation and management of specimen collections
• Tracking of specimen transfers, and so on

Yes: Because ^TDBioBank software is based on Web technologies, uses standard communication (HL7/XML), and can interface with HIS and LIS, it can be easily deployed and integrated in existing organizations.

• Relational data base (Oracle®, SQL Server®), running UNIX®, Windows®, LINUX®
