Developing computer-based questionnaires (CQs) is challenging. A new approach separates functionality from content, using a generic tool and content-independent data model to improve CQ development and integration.

Area of Science:

  • Health Informatics
  • Medical Informatics
  • Computer Science Applications in Medicine

Background:

  • Computer-based questionnaires (CQs) offer benefits for data collection and patient acceptance.
  • Previous CQ projects faced limitations due to dedicated software, funding, and poor integration with medical systems.
  • Fixed database structures hinder CQ adaptability, requiring data model changes for content updates.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To address persistent challenges in computer-based questionnaire (CQ) development.
  • To propose a strategy for creating flexible and integrated CQs.
  • To overcome limitations of dedicated software and fixed database structures in CQ systems.

Main Methods:

  • Extended OpenSDE, a generic structured data entry application.

  • Developed a tool for constructing and executing CQs.
  • Implemented a content-independent data model and a generic building tool.

    • Main Results:

    • Successfully integrated CQ development capabilities into OpenSDE.
    • Demonstrated a strategy separating CQ functionality and database structure from content.
    • Provided a flexible alternative for data input via CQs.

    Conclusions:

    • Combining a generic building tool with a content-independent data model offers an effective solution for CQ development.
    • This approach mitigates issues related to software dependency, funding, and system integration.
    • The developed system enhances the adaptability and sustainability of computer-based questionnaire projects.
