Implementing a Redcap-Based Research Data Collection System for Mental Health. Revista Colombiana de Psiquiatria, 50(Suppl. 1), 110-115. PMCID: PMC9562606Abstract
BACKGROUND: The implementation of new technologies in medical research, such as novel big storage systems, has recently gained importance. Electronic data capture is a perfect example as it powerfully facilitates medical research. However, its implementation in resource-limited settings, where basic clinical resources, internet access, and human resources may be reduced might be a problem.METHODS: In this paper we described our approach for building a network architecture for data collection to achieve our objectives using a REDCap® tool in Colombia and provide guidance for data collection in similar settings.
CONCLUSIONS: REDCap is a feasible and efficient electronic data capture software to use in similar contexts to Colombia. The software facilitated the whole data management process and is a way to build research capacities in resourced-limited settings.
