National Institute for Korean Medicine Development Holds "Public eCRF Construction and Utilization Training"

Practical Support Through Hands-On Training
Enhancing Capabilities in Clinical Research Data Management

The National Institute for Korean Medicine Development (Acting President Song Sujin) and the Korean Medicine Innovative Technology Development Project Group held a "Public eCRF (Electronic Case Report Form) Construction and Utilization Training" at the With Space Education Center in Seoul on October 29.

This training was organized for researchers participating in clinical studies linked to the Korean Medicine Innovative Technology Development Project Group, aiming to strengthen their ability to efficiently and reliably collect and manage clinical research data using the public eCRF system.

The eCRF is a system that digitizes and collects clinical research data, playing a key role in enhancing data accuracy and transparency, as well as reducing research duration and costs.

The training, held under the theme "Introduction to Key Functions of the Public eCRF System and System Construction Practice," lasted for seven hours.

Participants responded positively, saying, "We have had difficulties establishing a systematic data management system, but today's training provided a clue to solving this issue. The hands-on approach made it easy to understand, and we believe we can apply what we learned directly to upcoming research."

Lee Junhyuk, Head of the Korean Medicine Innovative Technology Development Project Group, stated, "This training is important for strengthening the capacity to manage clinical research data, which is fundamental to increasing the credibility of Korean medicine. Moving forward, we will strive to enhance the usability of the public eCRF system and create an environment where researchers across the Korean medicine field can conduct research more conveniently and accurately."
