- Data collection systems are required for all prospective studies involving collection not happening through pre-existing methods such as electronic health records.
- It would be interesting to try to get a count of the number of patients seen in their hospital. Clinicians tend to be overconfident because they see the same patient multiple times, inflating their perception.
- Out of the patients they see, only a percentage would consent to participate. The exact percentage depends on a number of factors, such as how much time and effort they would have to make, their potential benefit, etc.
- If the trial is in the US, you might want to show them counts from different hospitals through N3C, so that they consider potential partners in a given geolocation.
- Data are often captured through electronic data capture (EDC) systems like Redcap to collect the prospective information(intervene and follow patients), but sometimes also through survey systems.
