Comparative effectiveness research

Despite incredible advancements in medicine we still do not know which intervention works best for whom, when, and in what circumstances. The promise and mission of comparative effectiveness research is to provide clinicians and patients the information they need to choose the best option for their specific situation. (what is comparative effectiveness research)

Comparative effectiveness research is not just about collecting data, it is about evaluating a comprehensive view of health-related procedures over a wide range of patient populations in an effort to quantify and improve results. In the end, comparative effectiveness research is about identifying the most effective interventions for a specific population and then delivering the right intervention to the right patient at the right time.

However, to do this, we need:

• Systems to collect the right data in the correct context
• Tools to retrieve and summarize desired results
• Intelligent applications to ensure that results are verifiable

RemedyCER™ Suite is a comprehensive solution that enables an institution or company to immediately realize the benefits of comparative effectiveness research. At the heart of our solutions are highly specialized clinical registries that allow researchers to collect, aggregate and report across disparate data sources regardless of location. If you want to identify new treatments and find novel conclusions, you need to collect and report across more diverse data sets.

RemedyCER includes the applications, tools, and data infrastructure to support comparative effectiveness research. This includes:

Applications:

• Registries – RemedyMD delivers a wide variety of registries such as:
  • Clinical Registries for collecting and managing data specific to a particular medical discipline.
  • Disease Registries for aggregating and storing hundreds of data elements specific to an individual disease or condition.
  • Patient Registries used to collect information about individual patients and their outcomes.
  • Rare Disease Registries used to collect rare disease specific data from EHR's, biospecimen management systems, and imaging applications.
  Registries are sometimes referred to as databases. They form the heart of comparative effectiveness research, outcome tracking, personalized medicine, and evidence-based medicine.
• Compare™ - RemedyMD’s Compare allows you to compare the effectiveness of a procedure to any other procedure or to a control group. For example, with Compare you can find out what pain management regimen is most effective for disabling arthritis in an elderly African-American woman with heart disease?
