Salt Lake City, UT -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/09/2009 -- RemedyMD, the leading provider of disease registry software, today announced the first nationwide abdominal surgery registry to help clinicians and researchers identify which surgical interventions are most appropriate for specific patient populations.

Details about the registry: http://www.remedymd.com/cer100/abdominal_surg.html

Aligned with the Institute of Medicine’s Top 100 Priorities for Comparative Effectiveness Research (CER), RemedyMD’s abdominal surgery registry compares the effectiveness of minimally invasive abdominal surgery and open surgical procedures on postoperative infections, pain management, and recuperative requirements. The new registry includes all of the applications, data infrastructure, and tools that clinicians and researchers need to gather, synthesize and analyze both phenotypic and genotypic data simultaneously.

“Our experience has shown when researchers view and report across all data types at the same time, they discover patterns and associations that are indistinguishable using traditional methodologies” said Gary D. Kennedy, Founder and CEO of RemedyMD.

RemedyMD’s abdominal surgery registry includes a comprehensive set of electronic data collection (EDC) forms that are specific to surgical outcomes research, ad hoc reporting capability, and pattern recognition tools that assist users in identifying the most effective treatment options.

In support of this initiative RemedyMD is seeking additional partners who have existing data that addresses the specific needs of abdominal surgery researchers. All institutions involved in comparative effectiveness research that are planning on submitting grant proposals for AHRQ funding are invited to visit: http://www.remedymd.com/cer100/abdominal_surg.html
