REDCap: Clinical Data Pull (CDP) Functionality

REDCap can communicate with any EHR (electronic health record system) that has implemented ‘SMART on FHIR’ web services that allow for interoperability and limited data extraction from the EHR. In this way, REDCap can be embedded inside and launched within EPIC. This allows REDCap users to easily add patients to their projects and/or to access patient data inside a REDCap project. This functionality can also allow REDCap to extract limited clinical data from EPIC and import clinical data into a REDCap project by using a feature called ‘Clinical Data Pull’ (CDP). CDP provides an adjudication process whereby REDCap users can approve all incoming data from the EHR before the data is officially saved in their REDCap project.

Learning Objectives:

• Explain the difference between CDP and Clinical Data Mart
• Understanding how to use CDP in REDCap and what data can be extracted from EPIC.
  • What is CDP
  • How does it work
  • Feature needs to be enabled in your project by an administrator
  • Field mapping process
  • Currently data types available for export : demographics, medications, problems, allergies, vital signs, social history and some Laboratory tests
  • Adjudication
