OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to describe the data collection systems routinely used by electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) units across the province of Quebec, Canada.
METHODS: We conducted a descriptive, cross-sectional study. Using an online survey, 31 ECT units delivering inpatient or outpatient ECT treatments in the province of Quebec provided information on the data collection systems used, data recorded, data collection strategies, indicators of satisfaction, limitations of the current data collection systems, and expectations toward the improvement of ECT data collection.
RESULTS: Most units routinely collected information on individuals receiving ECT treatments, mainly on the medical chart (80%) and in paper format (71%). Most units (88.9%) collected ECT data manually. Electroconvulsive therapy parameters are collected by 66% to 80% of units, but only 16% of them have computerized records. The main limitations of the current systems are as follows: (a) the low frequency of computerization, (b) the underutilization of data, and (c) difficulties in the integration of information from different ECT units. Although 83.3% were satisfied with the current data collection strategies, 80% had a very positive opinion about the development and implementation of an innovative ECT provincial data collection registry.
CONCLUSIONS: An integrated ECT provincial data collection system could overcome the variability documented in existing strategies and respond to the current provincial needs and expectations. Also, an integrated ECT provincial data collection system could support both clinical research and quality assurance necessary to inform standards of ECT practice in Quebec.
