ABSTRACT
Conducting multicentre operational research is challenging due to issues related to the logistics of travel, training, supervision, monitoring and troubleshooting support. This is even more burdensome in resource-constrained settings and if the research includes patient interviews. In this article, we describe an innovative model that uses open access tools such as Dropbox, TeamViewer and CamScanner for efficient, quality-assured data collection in an ongoing multicentre operational research study involving record review and patient interviews. The tools used for data collection have been shared for adaptation and use by other researchers.
Conduire des recherches opérationnelles multicentriques est un défi, particulièrement dans les contextes de ressources limitées, en tenant compte des questions de logistique de déplacement, de formation, de supervision, de suivi et de soutien à la résolution des problèmes; encore plus si cette recherche implique des entretiens avec des patients. Dans cet article, nous décrivons un modèle innovant qui utilise des outils à accès ouvert comme Dropbox, TeamViewer et CamScanner pour un recueil de données efficace et de qualité assurée dans le cadre d'une recherche opérationnelle continue multicentrique impliquant des revues de dossiers et des entretiens avec des patients. Les outils utilisés pour le recueil de données ont été partagés pour l'adaptation et l'utilisation par d'autres chercheurs.
RESUMEN
La realización de investigaciones operativas multicéntricas puede ser problemática, sobre todo en los entornos con restricción de los recursos, habida cuenta de las dificultades en la organización de los desplazamientos, la capacitación, la supervisión, el seguimiento y el apoyo a la resolución de problemas; más aun, cuando la investigación precisa entrevistas a los pacientes. En el presente artículo se describe un modelo innovador que utiliza herramientas de libre acceso como las plataformas Dropbox, TeamViewer y CamScanner, con el fin de lograr una obtención de datos eficiente y de calidad garantizada, en una investigación operativa multicéntrica en curso que comporta el examen de las historias clínicas y entrevistas a los pacientes. Se comunican las herramientas utilizadas en la recogida de datos, con la finalidad de que otros investigadores puedan adaptarlas y las apliquen.
