• Topics related to core functionality, e.g., surveys, repeating instruments, branching logic, calculated fields, data access groups, reporting, etc.
• Your research and how REDCap solved your data capture and workflow needs
• eConsent
• Data management/quality
• REDCap-ETL or other data-export functionality
• REDCap API and related software, such as PHPCap
• External modules and other advanced functionality, e.g., Date Calculated Fields, MyCap, Twilio, Mobile app, etc.

Presentations, demonstrations, and panels will be chosen based on topics of interest as identified by registered attendees as well as space in the program. 

Presentations, demonstrations, and panels will be notified by April 6 of acceptance. Final slides will be due by May 3 for final review and posting to the conference website (as well as formatting for the projector in the presentation rooms).

All presentations will be posted in PDF format on May 7 and recorded for posting after IU REDCap Day via YouTube.

Accepted talks/sessions announced!

Utilization of Reports, Notifications, and Custom Dashboards to Assist with Team Efficiency: Learn how you can create reports to simplify finding records, custom dashboards for quick viewing, and utilization of notifications to assist with response timelines.

Introduction to REDCap: New to REDCap? This session is for you. Hear about how REDCap can assist you with your data collection needs. Bring all your questions!

Managing Test and Production Environments: REDCap is built around change management principles, but it can still be confusing how to maintain a separate test environment. This session looks at a few ideas and one real-life example.

Translating the Protocol into REDCap: This presentation will emphasize the need for creating a process for analyzing the protocol for the data management elements necessary for creating an effective REDCap database. It will also discuss strategies for effectively mapping out the protocol to translate its elements into a functional REDCap database.

Real-Time Data Synchronization: Assessing the Impact of REDCap CDIS (Clinical Data Interoperability Service): REDCap CDIS features, which allow data to be pulled from the Electronic Medical Record (EMR) using the Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) API, will be presented. It allows seamless, efficient, and real-time data from Cerner.

Creative Uses of REDCap: In this session, you see examples of using standard REDCap functionality (no API-based code, external modules, SQL fields, etc.) to make REDCap do things you might not expect were possible.

Make Better Reports with @CALCTEXT and Filter Logic: Looking to improve your reports? This presentation will provide tools for making effective reports. The design of a patient tracking log will be used as an example of how complex information can be synthesized into a simple report.

Leveraging REDCap to maintain standardization and quality assurance of data across a statewide quality improvement initiative: Evolution of a REDCap clinical database, utilized for quality improvement in a statewide primary care learning collaborative across health systems, will be reviewed. Quality assurance methods and successes and challenges in standardization across a statewide QI project will be described.

Using REDCap for Field Work: This presentation will cover how the Center for Survey Research utilized REDCap as a case management system to administer a large-scale phone survey.

REDCap’s eConsent Framework: Curious about eConsent in REDCap and how you might use REDCap to administer electronic Informed Consents? Look no further than this session for a solid introduction.

Utilizing Copy Data on Save External Module: The presentation will include why the Copy Data on Save external module is useful when a project involves multiple databases, and a brief demonstration on how it works.

What's New and What's Next: REDCap is always evolving to address data collection needs. This session delves into some recent interesting new features and looks at what’s coming down the pike. Exciting things are happening with REDCap!
