Electronic case report forms (eCRFs) have become an integral part of modern clinical trials. eCRFs allow for more efficient and accurate data collection compared to traditional paper-based data capture. In this blog post, we will explore what an eCRF is, the benefits of using eCRFs, best practices for setting up an eCRF system, types of data collected, security considerations, eCRF design, and frequently asked questions. What is an eCRF?
