Individual packages of software called external modules are available for REDCap and can extend functionality, customization and enhancements at both the system and individual project level. Modules will need to be enabled by a REDCap Administrator, and a list of current modules are available from the REDCap Repo site.
Want to know if REDCap is the right choice for your project? Have questions about a project or need training? Request a consultation with one of our REDCap@USA team members.

BioPortal is an online repository of biomedical terminologies and ontologies maintained by the National Center for Biomedical Ontology. BioPortal enables community participation in the evaluation and evolution of ontology content by providing features to add mappings between terms, to add comments linked to specific ontology terms and to provide ontology reviews.
Users can easily incorporate this service into REDCap to generate semantically aware applications and to facilitate structured data collection. This is done with an ordinary text field on a survey or data entry form which will provide auto-suggest functionality for real-time searching within biomedical ontologies, such as RxNorm, ICD-9, ICD-10, Snomed CT, LOINC, etc.
