The eCREAM consortium brings together three different types of partners, each with a different background context and each contributing its specific knowhow. Together, they represent a wide range of expertise, interests, and, importantly, connection to other networks for enhancing information for maximum coverage of eCREAM activities and findings.
Clinical partners: 5 hospitals or universities (Dioikhsh Ygeionomikhs perifereias Krhths, Univerzitetni Kliniĉni Center Maribor, Univerzita Pavla Jozefa Safarika v Kosiciach, Uniwersytet Jagiellonski, Ashford and St Peter’s hospitals NHS foundation trust) act as country coordinators managing a group of 35 EDs involved in the project, belonging to 7 different countries (Italy, Greece, UK, Slovenia, Slovakia, Switzerland, Poland). These EDs, in addition to their clinical expertise, will bring different perspectives into the consortium because they have different hospital dimensions, different kinds of IT providers, and are not all university-affiliated. The heterogeneity of participating EDs is crucial to properly designing and assessing the usefulness of the eCREAM tools in various real-world situations.
Technical partners: Fondazione Bruno Kessler, Orobix Life, and Astir have extensive experience in clinical software development, each with a specific insight.
Scientific partners: Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Vaudois (CHUV), European Clinical Research Infrastructure Network (ECRIN), and Istituto di Ricerche Farmacologiche Mario Negri IRCCS (IRFMN) will contribute with all their scientific expertise.
