NLM is collaborating with OS and HHS Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) on developing and disseminating regulatory language related to health information technology, meaningful use, and standards and certification criteria related to electronic health records and messaging. The collaboration includes serving as members of the Content Standards Workgroup, and Semantic Standards Workgroup of the Health IT (HIT) Standards Committee. The HIT Standards Committee is a Federal advisory committee that was created by the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act to provide input to HHS on the policies and technologies needed to improve health and care.

ClinicalTrials.gov is an NLM-operated database containing summary protocol and results information from publicly and privately funded clinical research. As of December 2016, the database included summary protocol information on more than 230,000 clinical studies conducted in over 195 countries, with nearly 24,000 records displaying summary results. NLM originally collaborated with FDA on implementing Section 113 of the Food and Drug Administration Modernization Act of 1997. It subsequently collaborated with FDA and NIH OD to implement the statutory requirements of Section 801 of the Food and Drug Administration Amendments Act of 2007 through rulemaking. The final rule (42 CFR Part 11) was issued in September 2016. NLM is currently collaborating with FDA and other parts of NIH to implement the regulatory requirements of 42 CFR Part 11.

CURE is a new tool designed to centrally capture and organize real-world information about how healthcare practitioners use existing drugs in novel ways to treat patients with neglected tropical diseases (NTDs), emerging infections, and drug-resistant infections when treatment options are limited or inadequate. It is currently publicly available in “beta” as an open-access website that enables healthcare practitioners throughout the world to contribute to the database by using a simple online form, a smartphone or other mobile device. In addition to submitting their own case reports, practitioners are also able to query and retrieve information from the database.
Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs) are a group of parasitic and bacterial diseases that cause substantial illness for more than one billion people globally. Patients with NTDs, emerging or drug-resistant infections may lack adequate treatment options due to the limited number of drugs approved for these conditions. Out of necessity, healthcare practitioners try to use existing drugs in novel ways to treat these patients. At present, much of this clinical experience, regardless of whether the patient outcomes are positive or negative, is never reported or shared, and the knowledge is therefore lost.
