REDCap (Research Electronic Data Capture) vs. Voxco Survey Software

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

It's made for surveys...just like Survey Monkey or SurveyGizmo and very similar to them as well. I just don't know about how the cost compares.

• 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.

• Has a simple and cleanly laid out website making function and projects easy to fine.
• Reporting and analysis functions are easy to find and understand.
• Has a nice feature in the reporting that automatically reorders response categories so they are always from max to min.

• I don't really see many issues with REDCap.

• On the same topic about the automatic reordering of responses from max to min, the downside is it does not allow me to leave the ordering in original format.

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

They respond almost immediately to queries

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.

Very similar to SurveyMonkey and SurveyGizmo. They all have some minor differences and it makes you wish you could own all of them to get every function you would need.

• 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.

• I can't speak to this as I'm just using it for analysis and it's the only tool available in this situation.
