Abstract

With the wide diffusion of web technology, dedicated electronic Case Report Forms (eCRFs) became the main tool for collecting patient data. The focus of this work is to thoroughly consider the data quality in every aspect of the design of the eCRF, with the result of having multiple steps of validation that should produce a diligent and multidisciplinary approach towards every step of data acquisition. This goal affects every aspect of the system design.

Keywords: data quality; eCRF; interface design; validation protocol.
