Data drive research, but many studies use inefficient legacy technologies to manage their data. Better tools now exist for data collecting, storing, using, and sharing. For a large-scale new biobanking project within the prospective California Teachers Study cohort, we leveraged cloud computing and a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system to build a novel data management system that provides real-time, on-demand access to all data, eliminates data silos, and reduces data management costs. We use mobile phones and tablets to ensure study-wide protocol compliance, guarantee high-quality data entry, and increase staff productivity. This presentation will describe why CRM and cloud computing are good for research and how we implemented our innovative system to achieve these results. We encourage other investigators to consider similar approaches and will discuss lessons learned from our experience. |
