Nuvasive SpineTRACK Registry Reaches Significant Enrollment Milestone Of 10,000 Patients
SAN DIEGO, May 23, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- NuVasive, Inc. (NASDAQ: NUVA), the leader in spine technology innovation, focused on transforming spine surgery with minimally disruptive, procedurally-integrated solutions, today announced that the Company's SpineTRACK Registry has reached a significant enrollment milestone of 10,000 patients from more than 50 surgeons in the United States since its inception in 2011. This milestone illustrates not only the continued utility of SpineTRACK to surgeon partners, but also confirms the NuVasive commitment to research, data collection and quality of care over the years.
The SpineTRACK Registry is a NuVasive-sponsored quality improvement tool that tracks patient outcomes through their treatment and recovery. As the longest-running registry currently offered by any spine company, SpineTRACK serves as a comprehensive and collaborative data collection solution for hospitals systems and spine practices.
"We are proud to be a part of this important spine outcomes registry," said Adam S. Kanter, M.D., UPMC Chief of Spine. "SpineTRACK has become an integral part of our practice here at UPMC and helps us better understand and meet the needs of our patients. With the rapidly changing healthcare landscape and growing importance of data collection, SpineTRACK has enabled us to record and report our patients' outcomes to provide the best care to our patients, accomplish our academic and research goals, and promote cost-effective strategies to our health system and administrators in support of value-based policy conception and implementation. Incorporating SpineTRACK at UPMC has proven to be a winning addition for all involved: the patient, the surgeon, the hospital and the health plan."
The robust data collected in SpineTRACK enables surgeon and hospital partners to use this valuable information when negotiating with hospitals and payers, engaging with patients to track their progress to better understand treatment benefits and evaluating outcome variations to aid in providing the highest value of care.
"Since announcing the Qualified Clinical Data Registry (QCDR) designation earlier this year, we've seen a significant increase in the adoption of SpineTRACK by both private practice physicians and hospital systems," said Matt Link, executive vice president, strategy, technology and corporate development for NuVasive. "SpineTRACK is foundational in our efforts to enhance the patient experience throughout the continuum of care with advanced data analytics. These elements will help fuel the future of Surgical Intelligence™ and continue to help revolutionize spine care."
