The standards-based and technology-enabled single-source process proposed here can reduce transcription errors, increase efficiency, and facilitate information flow and timeliness of data, thus improving data quality and patient safety.
The DSMC will review the quarterly reports on recruitment, participant retention, study safety and data quality, and monitor study progress.

Much of the fellow's initial efforts will be devoted to electronic health records, clinical decision support, databases and data analysis, and quality and safety.
The increasingly complex healthcare landscape requires that organizations build effective data infrastructures to support quality and safety research.
