How to design a database for electronic data capture in 1
Outline REDCap background REDCap features - System features - Database design features - Data Entry(DE) & management features Real- Bme CRF creabon CRF creabon using a template DE overview REDCap modules overview 2
Research Electronic Data Capture (REDCap) Background secure web- based applicabon designed & developed exclusively for research studies by Vanderbilt University (VU) (www.project- redcap.org) available at no cost to REDCap consorbum partners Currently 228 consorbum partners 3
Data from REDCap Consor8um 4
Features of REDCap System Features Secure and web- based - Input data or build database from anywhere - secure web connecbon with authenbcabon & data logging. - Installed on server(s) & configured for intranet and/ or internet access. 21 CFR part 11 Capable - server can be configured to ensure compliance 5
Fully customizable - total control to shape database and features - wriren in php source code available to partners - Support RDBMS but for opbmal performance MySQL database is recommended. Well Supported by partners - Online mailing lists/ forum - Weekly web- seminar/ conferences - Online tutorials 6
Database Design Features Stream- lined process for rapidly building a database - Point/Click & drag for real- Bme CRF CreaBon - Or upload from csv file. Database changes easily implemented - database field(s) can be modified or added when study is in progress. 7
Data Entry & Management Features Supports following Advanced features: - Auto- validabon (Range/ data checks) - Branching/skip logic - Data calculabon (e.g. can automabcally calculate value for Body Mass Index (BMI)) - File uploading and sending of files (links) from REDCap database with link expiring opbon - Can set database to allow double data entry 8
MulI- site access - Researchers from mulbple sites and insbtubons can access same database. Export data to common staisical packages - Exports raw data and syntax files to SAS, Stata, R, and SPSS. 9
