Implementing electronic data capture (EDC) training for site staff
نویسندگان
چکیده
Challenges Training of site staff on EDC systems is essential to ensure data quality and returns are maximised. Guidance notes are issued to support standardised completion of case report forms. However, due to the technical nature of EDC, guidance notes alone provide insufficient support for most site staff. Provision of effective, consistent and timely EDC training across a trial’s lifespan is a continuing challenge, particularly for large trials or those with long follow-up where site staff turnover is an added consideration.

BACKGROUND Electronic data capture (EDC) tools provide automated support for data collection, reporting, query resolution, randomization, and validation, among other features, for clinical trials. There is a trend toward greater adoption of EDC tools in clinical trials, but there is also uncertainty about how many trials are actually using this technology in practice. A systematic review of EDC...

The promise of increased efficiencies stemming from electronic data capture and electronic data management (referred to here collectively as EDC) has existed for years. However, adoption of EDC as a standard clinical trial tool has been slower than expected, primarily because of the mixed track record for EDC implementations. According to the most recent benchmarking document from The EDC Forum...
متن کاملComparison of Electronic Data Capture (EDC) with the Standard Data Capture Method for Clinical Trial Data
BACKGROUND Traditionally, clinical research studies rely on collecting data with case report forms, which are subsequently entered into a database to create electronic records. Although well established, this method is time-consuming and error-prone. This study compares four electronic data capture (EDC) methods with the conventional approach with respect to duration of data capture and accurac...
