About Electronic Data Capture

With electronic data capture, you enter research information from source documents into the computer, and save it to a database located at the host company. Electronic data capture facilitates real-time processes, which means that as site users enter and update data, the project team and sponsor can access the same data immediately after it has been saved to the database.

Some advantages of using electronic data capture are as follows:

• Real-time access to captured data
• Simultaneous execution of tasks by multiple user groups
• Accurate tracking of patient enrollment
• High-quality data ensured by electronic edit checks
• Remote review and monitoring
