Item Compare and Contrast Traditional (Paper) and New (Electronic) Clinical Data Collection Systems Perspective of the Investigative Site(2005-05-01) Tsai, David C.; Harold Sheedio; Don Peska; Myoung KimTsai, David C. Compare and Contrast Traditional (Paper) and New (Electronic) Clinical Data Collection Systems-Perspective of the Investigative Site. Masters of Science (Clinical Research Management), April 2006, 83pp., 1 table, 4 figures, bibliography, 12 titles. The emergence of new technology in the form of Electronic Data Capture (EDC) for clinical trials has the potential to overcome the inefficiencies of Traditional Paper Data Capture. However, due to the novelty of Electronic Data Capture Systems in the marketplace, several issues have to be worked out to insure that these systems will be successfully adapted. Among these issues are those concerning personnel training, infrastructure reliability, FDA involvement, and pharmaceutical company acceptance of EDC systems. The emphasis of my clinical research management internship focused on gathering survey responses comparing the two systems in order to determine if the advertise efficiencies of EDC systems were valid.Item Converting from Paper-Based to Electronic Data Capture and Record Keeping in Clinical Trial Management: Benefits, Challenges and Practical Considerations(2015-12-01) Castle, Colton; Gwirtz, Patricia A.; Bell, April M.; Hodge, Lisa M.Clinical research has lagged behind the technological advance of other healthcare fields. Most investigational sites depend on a paperābased data capture and record retention system. This practicum project examined the various benefits and challenges of electronic data capture and electronic record keeping systems. Electronic systems can improve data integrity, reduce trial cost and increase efficiency in the course of a clinical trial. However, electronic systems can also pose some challenges, including implementation and training cost, decreased productivity, and issues with data security and health record privacy. This project discussed some practical considerations for investigational sites transitioning to electronic systems. These aims were accomplished by review of the literature and consulting investigational sites through an email questionnaire.
