DATA CAPTURE• Surveys• Direct data entry• Calculated fields• Branching logic• Auto validation (data QC)• Longitudinal events

AVAILABILITY

• Web-based

• Multi-site access facilitates collaboration

• No cost for REDCap Consortium PartnersANALYSIS & REPORTS

• On-demand reports

• Export data to multiple common data analysis packages (R, SASS, Excel)

SECURITY• Deployment under your control

– can be deployed in environments for compliance e.g. ISO27001, IRAP, HIPAA, 21 CFR Part 11, FISMA (low, moderate, high)

• User management system

• Data collection 'instruments' (forms)

• Specify the question or field

• Specify the answer type

• Specify identifiable information– i.e. identifiable fields will be

removed when exporting "unidentifiable information"

Direct data entry Online surveysvs

• Usually entered by participant/patient

• Public link (anyone, multiple times)• Invited (email, configured to one

time, tracking)• Scheduled

• by date and/or condition

• User needs to login to REDCapbefore they can enter data

• usually by the researcher, clinician, group personnel

• Can enter data at any time

• Calculated fields

• Real-time data validation support (e.g. number min/max; dates)

• Supports branching logic

• Together this enforces data integrity

Australian Wound Registry

1) Where is the wound located?

• So far is similar to LimeSurvey, SurveyMonkey, Google Forms etc

• Supports Longitudinal Events, that is, one form can be repeated a fixed number of times to collect repeated measurements– e.g. Quality of Life forms

• carried out 10 times

• 1 time every 6 months over 5 years

UPGI Cancer Registry, PAH (School of Medicine, UQ)

User level or role based access to functions and data collection instruments (forms)

Supports sub setting data to specific groups

Cohort A

Cohort B

Reports (unidentifiable information)

Data Entry(have access to

relevant forms only)

Directly in REDCap, can query the data and generate simple on-demand reports

When more complex analyses are required, export the data to more sophisticated data analysis packages
