Overview

ePRO for Observational Studies

ePRO for observational studies lets you collect patient-reported outcomes in registries and observational research—questionnaires, diaries, symptom tracking—with 21 CFR Part 11–compliant controls and one audit trail when integrated with EDC and eConsent. Observational studies often rely heavily on PRO data; one platform for consent and ePRO simplifies compliance and data quality. Paper and app fragmentation cause issues. Capture provides ePRO in the same platform as EDC and eConsent—one audit trail and same security.

Why observational studies want ePRO

Observational studies need participant-reported data with full audit trail and 21 CFR Part 11–compliant controls—often with long follow-up and repeated assessments. When ePRO is in the same platform as EDC and eConsent, you get one build and one audit trail; when it’s separate, you get integration cost and two audit trails.

Common ePRO workflows for observational studies

Schedule PRO instruments by visit or time window; same platform as CRFs and consent
Capture patient-reported data with full audit trail; support for long follow-up
Same 21 CFR Part 11–compliant controls and HIPAA-compliant security as EDC and eConsent
Query and export for analysis and publication or regulatory use
Documentation to support sponsor validation when required (Enterprise)

Why paper and app fragmentation cause issues

Paper PROs: transcription errors, missing data, no single audit trail
Separate ePRO vendor: two systems, two audit trails, integration and reconciliation
Long observational follow-up with fragmented data across systems
Need for one platform for consent, CRFs, and ePRO with one audit trail
