Abstract:
Crowdsourced registries have been used to quickly gather information, especially during emerging public health concerns. Registries that began during the COVID-19 pandemic were used to rapidly answer key questions on coinfections, experimental treatments, and morbidity and mortality outcomes. Registries are also used more frequently to support clinical trials and track long-term outcomes in patient populations. This article reviews registry methodology, including the collection of data from crowdsourcing and real-world sources, that can be applied to nurse researcher and clinical research nurse skill sets. The authors illustrate a recently reported crowdsourced COVID-19 and cryptococcal disease registry that followed project management strategies and the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality registry guidelines for planning, execution, and analysis of registries and other research methods.
