Purpose of this poster
What is Redcap?
Electronic data capture solution for a research databaseDeveloped by Vanderbilt university (2004)Browser based, user friendly, widely usedFree for institutionsSecure data collection and storage
Research teams supported by internal tech staffSmall standard infrastructure requirements
Starting a new project is easy
‘Development’ modeProject starts in this modeSet up the data collection formsDummy data can be entered to test the forms
‘Production’ modeReal data is enteredThe forms can still be edited
Web based, real time entry of each measurementFor a survey, can invite specific people via email or provide a public link
Set up case report forms for data collection
Each data collection
form
S
Setting up different
variables in a data collection
form.Can know if a variable is an
identifier.
Different type of fields, for
different types of data.
Can set up pre-calculated
fields
Can set up branching logic. Fields can be revealed for the appropriate response
Is this a female?
If yes, has she given birth
earlier?
If yes, how many times?
Can organise events and
appointments using the built-in
calendar
The same form can be used for multiple events
Can know if some data is missing
Look for gaps or inconsistencies
Data can be seen as different types of graphs
For multiple choice questions
For quantitative values
Data export
Data can be exported to most common data analysis softwareCustomised short queries can be done
Data safety
Data is stored regularly on a secure serverDisaster safety recovery availableBackups and transmission are encryptedRegular system security updatesDe-identified data setsAudit trails of data changes, views & exportsHIPAA compliant
Research teamDifferent members - different levels of access

‘DEVELOPMENT’ MODETest Data collection formsPractise with dummy data
‘PRODUCTION’ MODECollect actual data
Add users and set user rights
DATA Check for consistencies
Simple graphs to show dataExport for detailed analysis
Revise the forms
