REDCap (Research Electronic Data Capture)<\/div><\/h3>

REDCap<\/a> is an on-premise, secure web application for building and collecting data via case report forms (CRFs) and online surveys. While REDCap can be used to collect virtually any type of data, it is specifically geared to support online or offline data capture for research studies and operations.<\/span><\/p>\n

The UConn Health instance of REDCap meets the technical requirements of HIPAA. We have also implemented many of the administrative requirements, but IT Security must certify the system for your specific study. This may incur an additional cost to conduct an annual risk assessment.<\/p>\n
