Data Capture

CDISC-Gloss – The process of collecting and recording measures and assessments for a specific purpose. NOTE: Data are said to be captured when they are extracted as permanent records for use in a new context or created as a source document in that context. An example would be data that are manually copied or otherwise extracted from an EHR that is then transferred into a clinical trial database to be used for a clinical trial.
