| Popis: | The method used to collect, store, and analyze data can affect the quality of data obtained. Many studies have shown the advantages of electronic systems over paper. Numerous tools are available for this purpose; however, they tend to be implemented only in high-budget protocols as they tend to be expensive.We report the experience of the Affective Disorders' Clinic of the National Institute of Psychiatry in Mexico City using Adobe AcrobatAdobe Acrobat 9 ProSixteen forms created for different clinical purposes had an average of 1.2% missing fields.The main drawbacks relate to remote filling and the time spent in fine-tuning complex forms. The main advantages relate to the simplicity of the implementation of the method and the fact that no software other than the one available at the Institute is required.Compared with other types of electronic data collection systems, the combination of these tools achieves similar goals and is low cost, requiring minimal knowledge of informatics. |
