REDCap changes coming April 8
To increase the protections surrounding clinical data, the way users access REDCap will change starting on Monday, April 8th. Currently, users navigate directly to the REDCap application via the internet or mobile app. The new access method will first route users through a terminal server managed by WVU HSC IT. This terminal server provides access to select applications including REDCap, Microsoft Excel, and a secure Y drive folder to save data. These secure folders can be accessed by designated research groups, to facilitate research team access to study data. With this new system, any data exported using REDCap’s export tool will be downloaded to a secure Y drive in a de-identified format. Additionally, Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention software may be installed on user computers, to prevent unsecure transmission of research data.
Important info regarding Adobe software
WVU is currently in the process of renegotiating the software licensing agreement with Adobe. Due to dramatic increases in cost with this software, we need to verify use and only install it on computers where the software will be used. In the past, several Adobe programs were automatically included as part of the standard software image on PCs being deployed at HSC regardless of whether the end-user needed the software or not.
