Integrating REDCap with a clinical genetics laboratory
A secure, automated integration that moves participant, order, and report data between a national study's REDCap project and a clinical genetics lab.
The challenge
Participant records, lab orders, and genetic reports had to move reliably and securely between two systems, for study sites in the United States and abroad.
What was delivered
- Synchronized participant records and assigned study identifiers.
- Placed and tracked laboratory orders.
- Returned genetic report documents to REDCap automatically.
- Sent nightly summaries to site staff.
Approach
A scheduled integration service with IP-restricted access, hosted on AWS. In 2024 we extended it to support whole-genome sequencing with at-home sample collection kits.
Outcomes
- In production from 2022 to 2024.
- Extended in 2024 to whole-genome sequencing with at-home sample kits.
