Abstract

This chapter discusses critical success factors in the design, implementation, and utility of a new construct and interface for data transfer with broad applicability to clinical data set management. In the context of a data coordinating center for evaluating cardiovascular outcomes in high-risk women, we detail and provide a framework for bridging the gap between extensible markup language (XML) and XML schema definition file (XSD) in order to provide greater accessibility using visual basic for applications (VBA) and Excel. Applications and lessons learned are discussed in light of current challenges to healthcare information technology management and clinical data administration. The authors hope that this approach, as well as the logic utilized and implementation examples, will provide a user-friendly model for data management and relational database design that is replicable, flexible, understandable, and has broad utility to research professionals in healthcare.
