Create a new vignette that will support the Aug 12, 2021 R/Medicine Conference workshop organized by @higgi13425.

  1. Introduce REDCap for novices
    • you probably have REDCap at your institution (w/ map & contact names)
    • test vs production projects
    • data entry validation strategies to prevent errors
    • when building an instrument/form, leverage existing standards and forms that have already been vetted by committees.
    • surveys vs conventional data entry forms
    • security & PHI
    • overview of how REDCap connects to other systems and other collaborators. Tease Kenneth's upcoming segment.
  2. EMR-ish data exists in a REDCap project. A readonly API token is publically available
  3. R calls REDCapR::retrieve_credential_local() to retrieve the token & URL
  4. R calls REDCapR::redcap_read() and receives a data.frame.
  5. An Rmd file bundles those previous two steps and produces an html document that contains
    1. A peak at the data.frame (with a warning that PHI would be exposed in a real example)
    2. Basic graphs
    3. An NIH-style table of demographics --probably using the codified package.
  6. Include links to training documentation & videos. Encourage them to talk to their site's REDCap admin

(Reminder to myself, there's a Google Docs we're using to organize thoughts for workshop. Look for an email from Peter Higgins.)

In theory, 4 parts to workshop

  1. How to Use Excel for Medical Research - Pitfalls of excel, best practices for preventing data errors, why you should use REDCap and R instead - Peter
  2. Introduction to REDCap, speaker TBD - recruited by Will (May)
  3. REDCapR how to use, how to get data out, to R or to your Statistician - Will (June)
  4. Multicenter studies in REDCap with CollaboratoR - Kenneth McLean (July)

Done initially as single 1 hour workshops in Evening in spring/summer, combined as a 3 hour workshop at R/medicine in late August 2021 (workshops 24-25 Aug)

Recording of 1 hour version of excel workshop is here The first webinar on Best Practices in Excel,
