	Project Planning & Implementation Data Collection & Entry Reporting Quality Control
		Project Planning & Implementation
		Project Planning & Implementation. Planning and rigorous standards are critical to the success of any data collection effort. DataBanque works closely with its institutional and corporate clients to deliver consistency and quality by laying a solid foundation: Documented and standardized data collection and processing rules A computer-based record tracking system to monitor data collection output and quality for each study participant Well-designed, user-friendly data collection forms based upon survey or form testing and modification Clearly defined quality measurement techniques and standards
		Data Collection & Entry
		DataBanque employs a highly skilled team of interviewers, abstractors and data entry personnel. Our interviewers are trained and experienced in administering phone and mixed-mode surveys via a CATI system to ensure accuracy, standardization and information security. Our abstraction personnel are unparalleled in their quality and knowledge of industrial exposure studies and our data entry staff keys data from a number of highly variable sources including surveys, transcribed forms, and files.
		Reporting
		Reporting quality and flexibility are fundamental to a large-scale research effort. DataBanque provides its clients with comprehensive reporting on a monthly, quarterly, and as needed basis. We deliver timely status reports and documentation to investigators, in addition to providing program and protocol evaluation and statistical reporting.
		Quality Control
		Delivering quality requires accountability and DataBanque integrates systems to monitor individual interviewer, abstractor, data entry, and reporting personnel. For example, our quality procedures include: Bar coding used throughout the system to ensure that all records are traceable to original documentation for loss prevention and internal auditing Electronic signatures with time stamping and status remarks for all personnel who handle documentation Real-time monitoring of error and accuracy rates 100% key verification for all data entry Blind re-abstraction of files to support an abstraction QA system
