The Yale Claude D. Pepper Older Americans Independence Center (OAIC) has been continuously funded since 1992 to support the investigation of multifactorial geriatric conditions. The Operations Core (OC), one of two OAIC resource cores, uses Research Electronic Data Capture (REDCap) to provide informatics services and to conduct innovative development projects. REDCap is a data management tool developed by Vanderbilt through the NIH/NCATS Clinical and Translational Science Award. In 2011, the OC introduced REDCap to Yale because of its open architecture and ubiquitous use. REDCap is used by over 1.7 million worldwide users and allows software designers to install custom-developed software extensions, known as External Modules (EMs), for research projects. The OC has been using REDCap for over a decade and has developed several popular, high-utility EMs known collectively as the Yale Study Support Suite (YES3). Because YES3 has been (1) vetted on high-profile NIH-funded research studies such as D-Care, STRIDE and SILVER-AMI, (2) showcased in national venues, and (3) shown to streamline work, requests for these custom EMs are predictable, frequent, and recurring. However, our software developers are directed by individual investigators following grant specifications that operate under strict timelines. Although YES3 improves with each iteration, the EMs are study-specific and not primed for open access and general dissemination. This squanders scarce commodities: specialized programming skills and development time. There is a better alternative. We propose to repackage the highest-utility YES3 EM's by incorporating open-source standards to make them suitable for dissemination, and to refactor and refine the code for maintainability and generalization across study designs. This will allow the code to be accessible to software developers and the YES3 EMs to be used by any researcher (regardless of access to a software developer), which will ensure the continued evolution of the software. YES3 includes a Web Portal and Dashboard EMs that are useful for all types of clinical research operations. The purpose of the Web Portal EM is to provide researchers with an intranet platform to release customized group communications, study documents, announcements, and real-time performance reports. The purpose of the Dashboard EM is to provide a feature-rich control panel used to view, filter, and manage participant status; communicate with study staff, track visit windows, manage workflow and monitor outcomes. Our aim is to ensure the future of the re-useable, interoperable, and configurable YES3 Web Portal and Dashboard EMs that were critical to the launch and successful implementation of our most prominent NIH- funded clinical research studies. Once we have incorporated the necessary refinements and software engineering best practices for open source, YES3 will be disseminated to the 14 other Pepper Centers and NIA Research Centers Collaborative Network (RCCN) and shared with the REDCap consortium through the global EM Repository maintained at Vanderbilt University.

耶鲁大学 Claude D. Pepper 美国老年人独立中心 (OAIC) 持续获得资助 自 1992 年以来支持多因素老年病的调查。运营核心 (OC)，其中之一 两个 OAIC 资源核心，使用研究电子数据捕获 (REDCap) 提供信息学服务 并开展创新发展项目。 REDCap是Vanderbilt开发的数据管理工具 通过 NIH/NCATS 临床和转化科学奖。 2011 年，OC 引入了 REDCap 耶鲁因其开放式架构和无处不在的使用。全球有超过 170 万用户使用 REDCap 并允许软件设计人员安装定制开发的软件扩展，称为外部模块 （EM），用于研究项目。 OC 已使用 REDCap 十多年，并开发了多种 流行的、高实用性的 EM 统称为耶鲁学习支持套件 (YES3)。因为YES3已经 (1) 审查了 NIH 资助的备受瞩目的研究，例如 D-Care、STRIDE 和 SILVER-AMI，(2) 在国家场馆展示，并且 (3) 为了简化工作，对这些定制 EM 的要求是 可预测的、频繁的、重复发生的。然而，我们的软件开发人员受个别调查员的指导 遵循在严格的时间表下运作的拨款规范。尽管 YES3 每次迭代都有所改进， EM 是针对特定研究的，不适合开放获取和广泛传播。这浪费稀缺 商品：专门的编程技能和开发时间。有一个更好的选择。 我们建议通过合并开源标准来重新包装最高实用性的 YES3 EM 适合传播，并重构和细化代码以实现跨领域的可维护性和泛化性 研究设计。这将使软件开发人员可以访问代码并使用 YES3 EM 任何研究人员（无论是否接触到软件开发人员），这将确保技术的持续发展 该软件。 YES3 包括一个门户网站和仪表板 EM，可用于所有类型的临床研究 运营。 Web Portal EM 的目的是为研究人员提供一个内联网平台来发布 定制的团体通讯、研究文档、公告和实时绩效报告。 Dashboard EM 的目的是提供一个功能丰富的控制面板，用于查看、过滤和管理 参与者状态；与研究人员沟通、跟踪访视窗口、管理工作流程并监控结果。 我们的目标是确保可重用、可互操作和可配置的 YES3 门户网站和 仪表板 EM 对于我们最著名的 NIH 的启动和成功实施至关重要 资助临床研究。一旦我们整合了必要的改进和软件 开源工程最佳实践，YES3 将传播到其他 14 个 Pepper 中心和 NIA 研究中心协作网络 (RCCN) 并通过 REDCap 联盟共享 全球 EM 存储库由范德比尔特大学维护。
