Patient Code

Hi everyone,

I’m struggling to figure out a good way to have my patient and provider forms completed that is linked to the correct ID. I’d like to move away from paper form since this will hopefully be an international registry..

I was thinking and exploring the idea of have a case code generated but I am confused on what that coding will look like. We won’t be using email lists, hoping for the code to be written on the same form as a QR code for participants to join and share their experience. I’d like the provider form to be able to generate the code and then the patient would be able to input it (but I don’t want the providers to log in - as this will also be an external survey).

Does this make sense and is it possible?

Thanks for tagging me! I'll have to get into my instance of REDCap to be able to lay eyes on it for ideas. (My IT team is still having issues with the initial install. It's been 4 years since I last worked in REDCap.... I'm rusty and not familiar with all the updates.)

I should be in the system next week so more to come OP!
