Pediatric Asthma Registry Provides Research Milestone

PRLog (Press Release) - Oct 30, 2009 -
SALT LAKE CITY, US  -- RemedyMD (www.RemedyMD.com), the leading provider of disease registry software, today announced the first nationwide pediatric Asthma registry to help clinicians and researchers identify which interventions are most appropriate for specific patient populations.

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

Aligned with the Institute of Medicine’s Top 100 Priorities for Comparative Effectiveness Research (CER), RemedyMD’s asthma registry tracks the effectiveness of an integrated approach combining:

1.Counseling
2.Environmental mitigation
3.Chronic disease management
4.and legal assistance

with a non-integrated episodic care model in managing asthma in children. The 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 new pediatric asthma registry includes a comprehensive set of electronic data collection (EDC) forms that are specific to pediatric asthma 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 pediatric asthma researchers. All institutions involved in comparative effectiveness research that are planning on submitting grant proposals for AHRQ funding are invited to visit: www.remedymd.com/cer100/asthma
