For this last project, he managed and organized the vast amount of Medicare claims data analyzed.Additional work with Duke's point-of-care cardiovascular data system provided the opportunity for Robert to work for a joint venture between Duke and Summit Medical developing a Web-based clinical data information system which was successfully deployed for clinical trials data collection and the Art Registry for Eli Lilly's ReoPro.
