REDCap (Research Electronig Data Capture) (w) is a database and front end system for the collection of research data. It probably could contain our dataset but would be inconvenient to work with.

  • U of M hosts this and we could possibly use it there
  • It can store data and provide cross checks in the entry forms
  • Once set up, it is not very flexible for ongoing changes.
  • contains some simple reporting and analysis tools
  • Dr Garland has used this for other projects
  • When we discussed using it at Hackensack the outcome was that it could probably contain our data, but would be awkward and inefficient to maintain.

Questions:

  • can an entry be started today and finished tomorrow?
