Electronic and paper mode of data capture when assessing patient ‐reported outcomes in the National Dental Practice‐Based Research Network

ConclusionThe electronic mode of data capture was as operational as the traditional paper mode, while also providing the advantage of eliminating data entry errors, not involving site research coordinators in measuring the patient ‐reported outcomes, and not incurring cost and potential delays due to mailing study forms. Electronic data capture of patient reported outcomes could be successfully implemented in the community dental practice setting.
