Electronic Data Capture • Strong need for simple methods for collecting data into electronic forms for support of clinical research • Popular software is REDCap – used by a majority of CTSAs and many other institutions
REDCap Project History • 2004 Needs Assessment • Researchers needed help managing data for small/medium sized non-trial research • projects (pilot, R01, PPG) • Hypothesis • Researchers will do the right thing (secure, audit trails, etc) if provided an easy way to get needed tools • Problem • Many projects, few resources
REDCap Project History • Solution: • Metadata-driven application (no per-project programming) • 2004 - First REDCap project operational at Vanderbilt • 2006 - REDCap Consortium • Launched REDCap Consortium to share with other universities and foster collaboration for future development
Case Report Forms PDFs Visual Status Data Validation NumerousField Types + Text (Free) (Number) (Phone) (Zip) (Date) +TextArea +Select +Radio +File HumanReadableLabels BranchingLogic Auto-Variable Coding
Data Export + De-ID Tools EmbeddedDe-IdentificationTools Exports RawData + Stats Script Files (Labels, Coding
Clinical Trial Management Systems Functionality Items to consider Hundreds of systems replaced with one Hundreds of processes replaced with dozens Required flexibility for innovation Required agility for innovation • All aspects of trial management • Time and event management • Electronic data capture • Recruitment support • Interface to clinical systems, laboratory, imaging, prescribing, warehouse • Financial management • Regulatory support • Interfaces to analytic software
Approach to CTMS • Vanderbilt • No Single CTMS supporting research enterprise • StarBRITE for Recruitment, Regulatory, Financial and other CTMS components. Heavy use of REDCap for electronic data capture. • Florida • 1,000 new clinical studies per year • No CTMS, heavy use of REDCap, 100+ local systems in use for trials • Others • Velos • Oncore (especially in Cancer Domain)
Data Warehousing • Data archive for cohort identification, trial planning, recruitment, registries • Create data flows from clinical, laboratory, tissue bank and prescribing systems • Create data flows from consent, trial, and molecular systems • Researchers mine data for planning and results • Care managers mine data for planning and quality improvement
Vanderbilt Data Warehousing Participant Recruitment Example
Study Work Queue (Daily Review) Clinics of Interest ReviewList Starting Here Filtering Criteria … • Snapshot – Pilot Studies • Nephrology • Examined: 2598 • Candidates: 96 • (reduction - 96%) • Cleft Palate • Examined: 2490 • Candidates: 27 • (reduction - 99%) • Cardiology (2 studies) • (reduction - 95%)
