Pay for performance in electronic data capture for clinical trials and medical registries
Abstract
Following the new medical device regulations, vendors need to track their products. Unlike to clinical research, data entry in such registries is done by staff that basically needs to ensure resident's treatment. Enforcing data completeness while entering is not an option anymore. In this work, we suggest an independent pay for performance system, that connects via REST to the registries. It allows to define rules that check data consistency and completeness, and rewards for records that fulfill the requirement. Rewards can be calculated manually or automatically by triggering evens, and they sum up for data entry persons or recruiting centers.
