ClinPlus CTMS vs. REDCap (Research Electronic Data Capture)

The platform can be used for new biotechs who are just starting to implement clinical research platforms or for companies who are looking for new systems. ClinPlus has all other systems too such as EDC, IWRS, and eTMF so a company can use one platform for all the systems. ClinPlus Clinical Trial Management System is cloud-based so it is useful for end users to access the system without logging into a company server.

REDCap surveys are very suitable for clinical trials and public health surveys. It's less appropriate for market researches .

• Clin Plus CTMS can be integrated with Clin Plus EDC, eTMF, and IWRS system. It also has the ability to seamlessly integrate with other platforms
• Their monitoring functionalities are very useful such as site visit report authorizing and review workflow, email notification to CRAs and Project Managers for creating and reviewing trip reports.
• Study Finance Management tool is also a good feature to keep track of all your site budgets in one platform

• Customization. I can use HTML to change format but there are also a ton of built in functionality for branching logic, matrix configuration, slider scales, etc.
• Security. HIPPA compliance is extremely important for medical research and REDCap ensures our data is safe.
• Variety of use. Being able to send both surveys and create forms for internal use makes the use cases numerous.

• It takes a while to get used to the platform especially if you are used to other CTMS platforms

It is very interesting to me especially that it meets all my needs. The libraries makes the job even much easier, since you can just make a few adjustments to the appropriate template chosen

I still prefer using Medidta CTMS as the platform is laid out in a very intuitive way and it is also very easy to integrate all the data into other platforms. With Clin Plus CTMS the system is good but to utilize it to its full potential all the other platforms provided by Clin Plus needs to be purchased also

SurveyMonkey and Google Forms have similar features for surveys but they lack the form options and user interface. They are also not HIPPA compliant so we are not able to collect any identifying information which is usually an issue in research when we are tracking participants. Many institutional review boards won't even approve a study without a HIPPA compliant data collection service.

• The system allows project managers to easily keep track of study metrics in real time which is useful for making decisions
• The monitoring tools ensure that the trip reports are completed and reviewed in a timely manner

• REDCap allowed us to house all patient information in one single portal which helped us eliminate the need for paper copies. We moved our whole filing system to an electronic version when we became "live" on REDCap. It is also very convenient and accessible to have all of this data in one location.
• A very positive impact is the ability for multiple users to see the same health and wellness information for each specific patient. Instead of constantly having to go back and forth via email, phone, etc. to ask about the patient; we could simply look up their information in REDCap and find all of the answers. It made our business much more efficient and made the patients feel as though we did our research prior to meeting with them.
