Data management in medicine usually takes place through the usage of heterogeneous and legacy systems. So far, these information systems were rarely reusable into other investigations and, expecially in multicenter studies, their development absorbed part of the given funding. To overcome these limitation, we developed the EPIweb system, i.e. a totally configurable web-based information system which helps the epidemiologists/public health practitioners to conduct their (distributed) researches by following a workflow made up of the selection of the remote centers, the creation of the questionnaires, the data entry, the statistical processing of the data, and the generation of the technical reports. The most important EPIweb features are shown in the paper by means of a recent investigation conducted with the system. Finally, we discuss some open issues regarding the improvement of the EPIweb system in the direction of scientific workflow management.
