Patient registries in medical science and clinical practice
Welcome to the e-learning faculty entitled Patient registries in medical science and clinical practice!
This course focuses on the theoretical basis for understanding Patient Registries. We hope that as you progress through the lessons, you will become more and more familiar with the key topics and the essentials of these databases.
Topics will embrace the entire process, divided into three main sections: registry establishment, maintenance, and analysis. The first part will introduce you to the aim of registries, the types of questions that this form of data collection can answer, details of case report forms, ethical considerations, IT background, data protection, and the role of contributors. The next section will include presentations on patient enrollment, data collection, and quality control.
