What is KECKCap?

KECKCap is an independent instance of REDCap, meticulously validated for 21 CFR Part 11 compliance, ensuring a secure environment for FDA studies. It is further enhanced with a specialized feature called Clinical Data Pull (CDP), enabling researchers to seamlessly extract data from the Electronic Medical Records (EMR) directly into a KeckCap project. Additionally, KECKCap ensures the secure reception of i2B2 clinical data exports directly into a project.

Why use KECKCap over Research REDcap?

KECKCap is reserved specifically for studies requiring and approved for one of three use cases:

  1. Studies Requiring 21 CFR Part 11 Compliance

  2. For use of the Clinical Data Pull (CDP) feature which allows researchers to extract data from Cerner, directly into a KeckCap project.

  3. For delivery of Clinical Data sets from the Informatics team.

Accessing KECKCap

To access KeckCap you must have a valid USC Net ID and access to the Med VPN.


Are CHLA and External Users allowed to access KECKCap?

Yes, if these users are necessary for your research study. However, only users with an active Cerner account can use the CDP feature.

How do I get started?

While you may be able to create an account in KECKCap by authenticating with your USC Net ID, project creation requires specific approval from the Informatics team, and in most cases the IRB as well. To request project activation from the informatics team, please complete this form: XXXX.

Tell me more about the CDP Feature

Clinical Data Pull (CDP) is an advanced feature of REDCap that must be enabled by a REDCap administrator. This feature allows an individual REDCap project to interact with an electronic health record (EHR) such as EPIC, Cerner, etc. and pull selected information from the EHR into the REDCap project. This is done through the Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) web service inside of an EHR which can pull structured data into REDCap using OAuth2 authorization.
