PPEPR software aims to enable plug-and-play electronic patient records by developing an intelligent automation system using semantics. It offers a solution to integrate different clinical systems like radiology and oncology more efficiently by validating, routing, and transforming message between systems. The current plans are to develop prototypes in 2006-2007 and conduct validation trials in 2008 while engaging clinical partners and seeking advisory board input.
