Medical Research Coaching is coming!

We just wanted to announce that the Research on Research team at Duke University is developing a unique program which provides a structured work flow, complete with proven methodologies and processes, to produce high impact publications for your medical research studies. The coaching program will be launched later this year in an entirely virtual format.

The program includes a practical application of starting your research project from the question formulation stage and working all the way through the manuscript writing via our proven streamlined processes in these areas:

Research question formulation
Literature searches
Data collection and extraction methods
Data analysis & interpretation
Interpretation of statistical findings
Manuscript writing & editing

The fully virtual nature of our research coaching program allows you the flexibility of being coached from anywhere in the world by our experienced researchers and mentors. The program is ideal for any health care professional or student who wishes to learn the process to become more productive with high impact publications, guaranteed.

We'll keep you posted on the blog with the program as we finalize the course details and the new website. Please pass the message along to any and all researchers and students in health care who aspire to improve their research skills and increase their publications and scientific impact!

Web-based Data Collection for Clinical Trials

DADOS Prospective has recently undergone some changes based on our user feedback. This is an open-source web based data collection system that can be used to conduct multi-center or single-center studies.

Online Survey? Only One Tool Worth Using.

It's no secret; conducting web based surveys can produce quality data at a much faster pace than snail mail or door-to-door surveys. With hundreds of online survey tools available, evaluating and choosing one to use for your study can be daunting. Well, the good news is that we have designed a survey tool that will knock your socks off.

The tool is called DADOS Survey, and it was designed with the researcher's needs in mind. Built in compliance with CHERRIES web survey guidelines, it covers everything from IRB consent forms to measuring how many seconds each patient spends answering each question. As always, the interface is easy for researchers to use to: create questionnaires, disperse surveys among a population, and extract the data that is being collected. It even allows images and flash movies to be uploaded into a questionnaire AND all with the peace of mind that the data is kept safely on protected servers. Sound too good to be true?

DADOS Survey is available through the Center For Excellence in Surgical Outcomes. Take a tour with the tutorial below to get a feel for the system and contact us to get started!

Looking for a new way to collect data for your clinical trial?

Data Collection for Clinical Trials Simplified Using Web Based Software

Take a look at this web based system, called DADOS Prospective, which streamlines the data collection process. Unlike other systems, from paper-based, to the extra pricey, and of course the cumbersome interface, DADOS Prospective is a cost effective, streamlined and user-friendly system. Currently implemented in clinics worldwide, it's an option worth considering for your next trial.

Please take a look at the following video which demonstrates how the system functions once Case Report Forms are set up for data collection.
