REDCap Automated Billing

DOI

REDCap Automated Billing is an automated, data-driven service billing system for a REDCap system. The University of Florida’s CTS-IT designed and wrote this system to charge a modest annual fee for each project and bill for customer support work logged in a REDCap-based service request system. This generates revenue, reduces data privacy risks by incentivizing the deletion of abandoned projects, and improves the quality of research productivity metrics.

Motivation

  • Generate revenue to offset costs and improve service.
  • Reduce data exposure risk via deletion of unneeded things.
  • Improve the quality of metrics by not counting junk projects.
  • Reduce support staff workload.

What we learned

  • We can make money by charging for REDCap services.
  • Charges are a tool to incentivize customer behavior.
  • Good people data and project ownership data are required.
  • There is no such thing as over-communication.
  • Partner with your fiscal team.
  • Use an incremental and iterative approach.
  • Automate everything.

Novel Concepts

REDCap Automated Billing introduces some concepts outside the normal scope of a REDCap system. These are described in Novel Concepts
