description
Traditionally, clinical data was captured using paper case report forms (CRFs) and manually digitised afterwards. Nowadays data is digitally collected in Electronic Data Capture systems (EDCs) in electronic Case Report Forms (eCRFS). Many EDCs exist, such as OpenClinica / LibreClinica, Castor EDC and REDCap and the majority of the Dutch UMCs have a site license for such tools. EDCs offer a variety of functionality, such as data entry validation, import/export functionality and monitoring [hri_edc].
...
Depending on your project, data collection could take place in one or more EDCs.
The How to section should:
be split into easy to follow steps;
Step 1
Step 2
etc.
help the reader to complete the step;
aspire to be readable for everyone, but, depending on the topic, may require specialised knowledge;
be a general, widely applicable approach;
if possible / applicable, add (links to) the solution necessary for onboarding in the Health-RI National Catalogue;
aim to be practical and simple, while keeping in mind: if I would come to this page looking for a solution to this problem, would this How-to actually help me solve this problem;
contain references to solutions such as those provided by FAIR Cookbook, RMDkit, Turing way and FAIR Sharing;
contain custom recipes/best-practices written by/together with experts from the field if necessary.
Expertise requirements for this step
This section could describe the expertise required. Perhaps the Build Your Team step could then be an aggregation of all the “Expertise requirements for this step” steps that someone needs to fulfil his/her FAIRification goals.

EDC system specialist: Individual who has experience with and knowledge of Electronic Data Capture (EDC) systems, such as Castor EDC, REDCAP or OpenClinica. They are in charge of setting up user access, data validation checks and electronic case report forms in the EDC system. They offer technical help to researchers and ensure data integrity and regulatory compliance.
Practical examples from the community
This section should show the step applied in a real project. Links to demonstrator projects.
