背景：原始数据收集是临床研究中的一项关键活动。即使技术能力有了显著的进步，使用的好处也很明显，甚至用户更喜欢使用电子系统收集原始数据，但纸质数据收集在临床研究环境中仍然很常见。然而，随着最近的发展，在临床研究和平板电脑技术，数据收集方法的比较优势和劣势should be determined.Objective：描述使用多种方法的数据收集，包括下一代平板电脑的案例研究，并考虑其各种优势和劣势。材料和方法：我们回顾了5个现代案例研究使用主要数据收集，使用的方法从纸张到下一代平板电脑。我们对每个项目进行了半结构化的电话采访，其中考虑了与数据收集相关的因素。我们解决这些不同的方法的工作流程，实施和安全性的具体问题，并确定在实施中的差异，导致不同的技术考虑每个案例study.Results和讨论：仍然有多种方法的主要数据收集，每个都有自己的优势和劣势。最近的两种方法是电子健康记录模板和下一代平板电脑。电子健康记录模板可以将数据直接链接到医疗记录，但很难使用。目前的平板电脑在用户熟悉度和软件成本方面与以前的技术有很大的不同。然而，在平板电脑上使用基于云的存储，给临床研究带来了一个必须考虑但可以克服的特殊挑战。
Background:Primary data collection is a critical activity in clinical research. Even with significant advances in technical capabilities, clear benefits of use, and even user preferences for using electronic systems for collecting primary data, paper-based data collection is still common in clinical research settings. However, with recent developments in both clinical research and tablet computer technology, the comparative advantages and disadvantages of data collection methods should be determined.Objective:To describe case studies using multiple methods of data collection, including next-generation tablets, and consider their various advantages and disadvantages.Materials and Methods:We reviewed 5 modern case studies using primary data collection, using methods ranging from paper to next-generation tablet computers. We performed semistructured telephone interviews with each project, which considered factors relevant to data collection. We address specific issues with workflow, implementation and security for these different methods, and identify differences in implementation that led to different technology considerations for each case study.Results and Discussion:There remain multiple methods for primary data collection, each with its own strengths and weaknesses. Two recent methods are electronic health record templates and next-generation tablet computers. Electronic health record templates can link data directly to medical records, but are notably difficult to use. Current tablet computers are substantially different from previous technologies with regard to user familiarity and software cost. The use of cloud-based storage for tablet computers, however, creates a specific challenge for clinical research that must be considered but can be overcome.
