Using REDCap to Improve Recruitment and Data Collection for Clinical Research
The ability to extract information from electronic health records into REDCap has automated the collection of millions of data points for hundreds of researchers across many institutions. This webinar will highlight some of the most impactful uses of REDCap Clinical Data Interoperability Services for clinical research, including COVID-19 trial recruitment and multi-site critical care studies. It will also cover new opportunities for integration between REDCap and electronic health records.

How NIH’s Research-Driving, Centralized Hub for COVID-19 Patient Data is Evolving
The pandemic continues to generate vast volumes of digital health data that could improve medical professionals’ understanding of COVID-19—but those potentially helpful datasets are often too large to share, and data management networks are so dissimilar they can’t be combined in a simple manner.
Near the middle of 2020, the National Institutes of Health’s NCATS, or the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences, moved to help alleviate that issue by developing a centralized resource that integrates coronavirus-related electronic health record data from separate organizations in disparate formats into one seamless structure that can also be used to advance research to combat the global health crisis.
