Clinical research in hospitals involves many partners. In Norway, the doctors are allocated little time for clinical research. Furthermore, complicated laws and directives have to be followed. The authors describe the organisation of clinical research and a software collection, including CD-ROM. We conclude that clinical research in large hospitals demands both a strong organisation and extensive use of modern information technology. The problems can be solved at acceptable cost.
