abstract: In the US, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention has produced has increased the permeability of the computer science technologies, in order to achieve a better and more efficient management of health care data. In this context, the present paper proposes a discussion regarding a web-based information system, called EPIweb. This system allows researchers to select the centers for the data entry, collect and elaborate health care data, produce technical reports and discuss results. Such a system aims to be easy-to-use, totally configurable and particularly suitable for the management of multicenter studies. The paper shows the EPIweb features, proposes a sample system run, and concludes with a discussion regarding both the advantages and the possible improvements and extensions.
