With increasing availability of electronic data for research and quality measurement, there is an increasing need for ascertaining the accuracy of the data.
Study data were collected and managed using Research Electronic Data Capture (REDCap) hosted at OHSU. 5 REDCap is a secure, web-based application designed to support electronic data capture for research studies.
For this pilot-study, the PI and first author of this paper appeared in the video to explain the electronic data collection process, research objectives, and the consent process.
To compare users' speed, number of entry errors and satisfaction in using two current devices for electronic data collection in clinical research: handheld and laptop computers.
The main study database uses research electronic data capture (REDCap) software that simultaneously receives data from multiple computers[ 55].
They have too hard of a standard... caBIG has to involve international partners, but they also have to make sure that it is realistic to do so, given that each culture or country or union (like EU) has their own unique regulations about electronic data transfer issues in research".
Numerous types of technologies are said to generate network effects, including computer networks for academic research [50], electronic data interchange (EDI) [51], and open-standard interorganizational systems [31, 52, 53].
The database used for electronic data transfer of any clinical research file (CRF) or subject related data will be protected by a password.
The data are collected through the print-based case report forms (p-CRFs) written by the outcomes assessors and entered into Web-based case report forms (w-CRFs) at electronic data capture (EDC) systems by research assistants.
There will also be new healthcare data release services for industry and academia, aimed at helping them to develop new products and services, and more detailed prescribing data to support research in analytics, electronic data management and other digitial technologies.
