EHR Integration Clinical data Any EHR with SMART on FHIR enabled

EHR Integration Launch REDCap from inside EHR + DDP on FHIR

EHR Integration DDP Mapping DDP Adjudication

EHR Integration Setup process No custom programming is required Will work with any EHR system that supports SMART on FHIR

EHR Integration Benefits Streamlines the flow of data from EHR to REDCap. Reduces data quality issues that occur during re-use of EHR data (saves time and saves $$$). Will be truly transformative in the realm of clinical research and trials.

One-click REDCap server launch via AWS Marketplace

One-click REDCap server launch via AWS Marketplace Will be useful for… Institutions with very little IT infrastructure or few dedicated IT staff. Those wishing to avoid the headaches of typical server setup and management. Deploying test servers. Running a REDCap server that scales well without much effort.

External Modules The next generation of plugins and hooks Democratization - External modules are “plugins and hooks for the rest of us” But what are they really?

External Modules What are they, technically? They can utilize hook functions They can have plugin-like pages All of the above

External Modules Who can install them? REDCap administrators only. Are IT staff required to install a module? No. Who can use them? Any REDCap user. How are they downloaded? An administrator will download it from the REDCap External Module Repository, then enable it in REDCap. Can any REDCap plugin/hook programmer get their module into the module repository? Yes. There will be a submission process to vet and test submitted modules.. The big win: Democratization of customizations and enhancements. It all started at REDCapCon 2016. You can make a difference!

External Modules are…
