Clinical Patient Management System (CPMS)

The CPMS is not directly accessible to individual patients. If you are a patient or parent of a patient, and would like more information on the CPMS or virtual consultation, click here

CPMS is a secure web-based software which aims at supporting ERNs in improving the diagnosis and treatment of rare and complex diseases across national borders of Member States in Europe. CPMS enables clinicians to enroll patients and discuss the conditions in a case-specific manner. In ERN RARE-LIVER, we continuously aim to encourage our clinicians to adopt this system in their daily clinical work and to positively benefit from the cross-border sharing of expertise. Healthcare professionals can use the CPMS to collaborate actively by virtual consultations within and across ERNs.

Please note that we are transferring into CPMS 2.0 very soon, updates will follow on this page. Once the data migration is complete, the current CPMS will no longer be accessible, and all data will be transferred to the new system.

Setting up your own panel

Some centres are using a minimal data sheet to summarize the parameters of their cases. To download the sheet, please click here.

Informed Consent

Although CPMS is a secure platform that complies to European data protection regulations, it is mandatory to gain informed consent from your patients before uploading their data to the platform. If there should still be concerns regarding data protection issues, you may enter anonymized patient data. Medical files usually get anonymized automatically by the system.

Patient consent forms for data sharing in all European languages can be downloaded from the CPMS system when opening a new patient record (Centre -> Enrol Patient -> Download Model Consent Forms).

The filled consent forms will remain in your centre.

CPMS Training Platform
