Assessment CenterSM is a free, online research management
tool. It enables researchers to create study-specific websites for capturing participant
data securely. Studies can include measures within the Assessment Center library
as well as custom instruments created or entered by the researcher. PROMIS instruments
(short forms, CATs, profiles) are a central feature of the instrument library within
Assessment Center. Any PROMIS measure can be downloaded for administration on paper
or be included in an online study. Detailed statistical information and development
history about PROMIS items and instruments is available for review.
Assessment Center enables customization of items or instruments (e.g., format, randomization,
skip patterns), real-time scoring of CATs, storage of protected health information
in a separate, secure database, automated accrual reports, real-time data export,
graphing of individual CAT or Profile scores, and ability to capture endorsement
of online consent forms among many other features.
