In our programs, we have used REDCap (https:\/\/www.project-redcap.org<\/a>), a free<\/u><\/strong> patient registry developed and distributed by Vanderbilt University. It has the proper security built-in to protect patient personal data including encryptions of these fields in the database. The software is available free of charge to non-profits, universities and government organizations (https:\/\/projectredcap.org\/about\/faq\/<\/a>). You don\u2019t need to subscribe to REDCap Cloud as this is a fee based service and free version works well for most organizations (unless you are running very complex clinical trials). Contact redcap@vumc.org<\/a> to request a license. REDCap can be set up in multiple languages and REDCap mobile app (https:\/\/projectredcap.org\/software\/mobile-app\/<\/a>) allows data entry on mobile devices even when access to the internet is limited or unavailable. Installation procedure can be found online (https:\/\/projectredcap.org\/software\/requirements\/<\/a>). The alternative to REDCap is DHIS-2 provided by University of Oslo (https:\/\/dhis2.org<\/a>). We have not worked with DHIS-2 but it is also free and a viable option for creating a patient registry.<\/p>\n\n\n
