Summary
Tracking stakeholder engagement in Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) trials is challenging. This study demonstrates how Research Electronic Data Capture (REDCap) offers a time-saving solution for capturing and reporting engagement activities.
Area of Science:
- Clinical research informatics
- Patient-centered research methodologies
- Data management in clinical trials
Background:
- Research Electronic Data Capture (REDCap) is a widely adopted, secure web-based system for managing research data.
- Stakeholder engagement is crucial for Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) funded trials, but tracking it can be complex.
- Existing methods for monitoring stakeholder engagement in large, complex trials are often challenging to implement consistently.
Purpose of the Study:
- To present a practical approach for collecting and capturing stakeholder engagement activities within PCORI-funded research.
- To provide a shareable Research Electronic Data Capture (REDCap) tool for monitoring and measuring stakeholder engagement.
- To inform investigators planning cluster-randomized pragmatic trials about effective engagement tracking strategies.
Main Methods:
- Utilized a REDCap tool to collect and capture stakeholder engagement activities in a large pragmatic clinical trial funded by PCORI.
- Focused on a specific PCORI trial (Comprehensive Post-Acute Stroke Services) to demonstrate the application of the REDCap tool.
- Documented the benefits and challenges encountered when using REDCap for continuous monitoring of stakeholder engagement.
Main Results:
- REDCap facilitates the systematic collection of data on how stakeholders engage throughout a study.
- The REDCap tool provides a structured method for reporting stakeholder influence on study progress.
- Demonstrated a time-saving approach to capturing and reporting stakeholder engagement for PCORI progress reports.
Conclusions:
- REDCap offers an efficient and effective solution for capturing and reporting stakeholder engagement in PCORI-funded studies.
- The described REDCap approach can streamline the process of documenting stakeholder influence for funders.
- This methodology can be adapted by other investigators conducting similar pragmatic clinical trials.

1.3K
The Problem-Oriented Medical Record (POMR) revolutionized medical record-keeping by introducing a systematic approach focusing on the patient's problems rather than merely listing symptoms. Dr. Lawrence Weed's introduction of this method in the 1960s marked a significant advancement in medical documentation. The POMR framework consists of four key components: the database, problem list, plan of care, and progress notes.

Reporting and recording are crucial in data documentation. The timely, thorough, and accurate documentation of facts is essential when recording patient data. Failure to record findings during an assessment or interpretation of a problem will result in loss of information and make the patient document unreliable. The reader is left with general impressions if the information is not specific. A recording is documenting data of the individual's health information in a traceable, secure, and...

Biopharmaceutical studies constitute a vital field aiming to enhance drug delivery methods and refine therapeutic approaches, drawing upon diverse interdisciplinary knowledge. In research methodologies, the choice between controlled and non-controlled studies significantly influences the study's reliability and accuracy.
Non-controlled studies, commonly employed for initial exploration, lack a control group, rendering them susceptible to biases and external influences. In contrast,...
