Reporting

  • How to create a report

Stats & Charts

Data Export

Data Import Tool

Data imports are useful when transferring data between REDCap projects, transferring data from the Electronic Health Record to a REDCap project, and when entering manually-collected data to a REDCap project.

Data Quality Module

Data Quality Module helps you quickly find discrepancies and errors in project data.

Data Resolution Workflow

A set of features which allows you to track changes to project data field by field (i.e. it provides documentation of changes made to a field). DRW is useful for clinical trials as it allows you to track changes for regulatory compliance.

Prepare your EHR data for REDCap Import

If your team would like to include EHR data in your REDCap project, you’ll need to either manually transcribe the data or request EHR data from the Electronic Data Warehouse (EDW) then prepare it for REDCap import.

File Repository

The File Repository can be used for storing and retrieving project files and documents (ex. protocols, instructions, announcements). If your survey utilizes the auto-archiver or e-consent framework, pdf copies of the instrument are saved here.

Logging
