Software designer Peter Charpentier took the stage with study manager Mary Geda at the 2024 American Medical Informatics Association (AMIA) Clinical Informatics Conference for a live system demonstration of the YES3 Dashboard External Module.

The YES3 Dashboard allows data managers to build their own customizable project interfaces within the REDCap data ecosystem- a task typically relegated to software engineers and out of reach for many research budgets. This cutting-edge tool eliminates the need for specialized programming, streamlines operations and enhances efficiency of managing complex tasks. By integrating features such as secure messaging, error resolution tools, and comprehensive data exploration, the YES3 Dashboard is a powerful workflow and data management tool for research ranging from large national trials to small pilot investigations. 

You can see a recorded version of the system demonstration here.

Over the past year, the software has gone through robust testing and has been successfully vetted on a variety of active research projects. The workgroup contributors, including Sui Tsang, Katy Araujo, Baylah Tessier-Sherman, Janet Truebig, and Sherri Aiudi, have been invaluable to the software development. 

Michelle Santangelo, Rush University Research Project Manager for INSPIRE, has this to say about her favorite Dashboard features:

  • Interface
    • “The filters, ability to sort, links to different study forms have made participant management much more efficient, less prone to errors, and easy to organize amongst multiple staff members.”
  • Secure Messaging
    • “One of our favorite functions has been the message thread. The coordinating center has been able to efficiently communicate amongst the various study teams as a multi-site study, minimizing the risk of leaking participant information via external modes or sent to the wrong study team.”
  • Inspector 
    • “The inspector serves as a great birds-eye-view of each participant and provided useful insight on the communications sent to the participant via REDCap.”

The YES3 Dashboard is in the final stages as the workgroup develops user-facing training materials and documentation.  The public release to the Vanderbilt Consortium is scheduled for late 2024.

We are proud that the REDCap@Yale team has expanded its support on the REDCap data collection platform by innovating, building, and releasing powerful research support tools in the YES3 suite. We are also excited to see the YES3 software disseminated at external venues that reach broad audiences, such as AMIA.  Way to go team!
