Clinical trial data collection and management involves processes to collect reliable clinical, control, and administrative data from trial sites and send it to a central location for management. Data collection is the process of gathering data according to agreed methods, while data management accumulates the collected data into a master database, ensuring security, validity, and completeness through quality reports. Data can be collected using pure paper-based, pure electronic-based, or hybrid systems, each with their own advantages and requirements. Communication tools help staff share information and exchange data. Processes before, during, and after data collection must be planned and executed successfully.
