10. REDCap and SAS Reporting
Custom code generator: SASGEN.sas
reads from data dictionary
writes single informat, input, label, and
format statements
renames checklist vars to choice-names
consolidates formats to unique set
creates uniform set of SAS programs for database loading

11. REDCap and SAS/R Reporting
SAS/R operations:
Combine exported data with other data
laboratory results
health record extractions
related data from other REDCap projects

12. REDCap and SAS/R Reporting
SAS/R operations:
Quality control checks
confirm REDCap validations (range, etc.)
complex longitudinal checks
logical checks with data from other sources
create reports for study personnel to make corrections in REDCap

13. REDCap and SAS/R Reporting
SAS/R operations:
Administrative reporting
accrual and retention reports
visit and forms completeness
database status - outstanding QC checks
Dissemination of reports
post to study website / shared server
directed , e.g QC to coordinator
archive reports

14. REDCap and SAS/R Reporting
Automation:
Nightly batch file
API + cURL export
SAS import (overwrite, not append)
SAS reporting
- quality control
- administrative reports (weekly)
- dissemination driver (post or )
LogScan: to DM daily
- program execution errors/warnings
- all is well
