What are the advantages of using the RA-FIT data collection platform?
RA-FIT offers users
the advantage of completing the new questionnaire in a web-based environment.
This allows for questions to be pre-filled that have relatively static content
and which typically require a “yes” or “no” answer, significantly changing the size
of the survey task, and allowing some content to be input and reviewed ahead of
the of the main survey. The use of validation rules, and enabling checkboxes embedded
in the online survey forms means that while all questions in the survey can be
seen, input cells are only enabled for completion based on selections made, and
basic checks can be made on data that is input, e.g. if on time filing rates
exceed 100 percent, then data input must be incorrect.
Furthermore, RA-FIT will reduce lead times and errors related to the manual collection processes previously employed improving the time available for analysis of data by the partner organizations responsible for its review. For members this means that over time RA-FIT will allow the partner organizations to reduce the time taken to analyze and return comparative data for their use.
