Overview

How to Capture Patient-Reported Outcomes Digitally

You capture patient-reported outcomes digitally by using ePRO in the same platform as EDC and eConsent—so PRO data is captured with one audit trail and 21 CFR Part 11–aligned controls. Quick answer: use one platform that includes ePRO. Steps: define PRO instruments and schedule; choose one platform for EDC, eConsent, ePRO; build study and run validation/UAT if regulated; launch. Common blockers: separate ePRO vendor, two audit trails. Tool options: look for integrated ePRO, same platform as EDC and eConsent. Capture fit: one platform for EDC, eConsent, ePRO; PRO instruments configurable in study builder.
