Laboratory Techniques. In addition to the previous research programs which address the personnel and management information needs of forensic science laboratories, the National Institute is funding research to improve instrumentation and analytical techniques applied to the analysis of physical evidence. The Aerospace Corporation of El Segundo, California, and the Law Enforcement Standards Laboratory of the National Bureau of Standards (NBS) have served as prime contractors to the Institute in the laboratory technique area. Although space does not permit a complete discussion of all projects underway at Aerospace and NBS, I will describe two project areas which are of great interest to forensic science practitioners and researchers. 

Other Poison Information Providers. Other poison information providers must be qualified to understand and interpret standard poison information resources and to transmit that information understandably to both health professionals and the public. This requirement will be considered to be met if the person has an appropriate health-oriented background and has specific training and/ or experience in poison information sciences. While providers may be part-time staff or have a part-time commitment to the poison center, 100% of their time should be dedicated to poison center activities while assigned to the center. At all times, poison information providers must be under the on-site direction of a Certified Specialist in Poison Information, a qualified managing director, or the medical director these individuals may provide direction for no more than two poison information providers at one time. 

Because of all these problems, it would be helpful to offer fine-grained computer and information science support to the experts working on such non-deterministic processes. Here, some approaches for unified product data management, experience management and reuse, work process management, and cross-organizational cooperation will be introduced. 

Given the current desire of management to be able to mine data and see trends across studies and the availability of PK/PD repository systems (which we discuss more fully later), the first and foremost operating procedure requirement in pharmacometrics is the definition of key metadata that describes the process flow. Metadata, from the information science perspective, is simply information that describes data that is, where the data goes, what the data is, and what possible...

Line functions and staff functions within the organisation have to be clearly identified. Line is associated with process flow. Line functions have direct responsibility and have the authority and power for realising the mission of the company. Knowledge of reporting lines is useful. Staff supplies information, materials and advices to the line . Staff functions are e.g. counselling on human resources, on procedures, on analytical methods and on systems, on managing a science based service department handling medical information, complaints and recall. A QP or hospital pharmacist may have both line and staffs function(s). 

Public health informatics applies information science and technology to the management of the data, the information, and the knowledge associated with public health practice and research. Each aspect of management is outlined in turn.
