Introduction
Structured data entry(SDE): in clinical domain, SDE is defined as a data entry method by interacting with pre-defined forms. Compared with free text data entry, SDE can constrain clinical data entry behavior, improve data quality, readability etc.
SDE can be divided into two parts:
- Form designer: in form designer, domain experts work on the new forms by organizing radio buttons, check boxes, and text boxes to present questions under their domain knowledge.
- Data entry interface: end users will interact with the data entry interface to enter data. The data entry interface is predefined in the form designer.
SDE is preferred because it supports electronic storage and exchange of data that reduces variations in the data and the level of detail. It encourages clinicians to provide standard text without the use of coding.
