Characterizing primary care research: PCROM versus BRIDG.
BRIDG is a widely known domain model of protocol-driven biomedical/clinical research. During a project to design a clinical trials management system for primary care research we developed a standard, computable representation of an RCT--the Primary Care Research Object Model (PCROM). We compared the PCROM Model to BRIDG and found significant overlap of concepts but also several areas important to our work that were either not yet represented or represented quite differently in BRIDG.
