Welcome to Syndicom SpineConnect

Surgeons

Today most spine surgeons collaborate and communicate on patient cases within their peer group through ad-hoc processes such as email, phone, fax, Fedex and opportunistic circumstances like annual conferences. While these forms of communication work, they are inefficient, difficult to manage, and lack the capacity to capture information and knowledge for later use.

SpineConnect, launched just over a year ago, has been widely embraced by the spine surgeon community.  Everyday over 1000 surgeons log-on to SpineConnect to share information on complicated cases from such institutions as the Cleveland Clinic, Rothman Institute, UCLA, and Johns Hopkins resulting in better patient outcomes.

SpineConnect Platform

SpineConnect enables you to get feedback on complicated patient cases quickly and securely from some of the world's foremost authorities in spine surgery.  Using simple and intuitive case wizards, you can quickly enter information such as:  area of injury, injury type, pertinent positives and negatives, patient history, and attach any images all in one easy step.  What's more, because SpineConnect is web-based, it is accessible from anywhere - including the ER.

SpineConnect allows you to work with trusted colleagues, and still tap into the knowledge of the entire spine community.  Plus, SpineConnect allows you to easily manage your caseload.  It organizes your cases so you can track responses, view your own submitted cases and responses, and find all pertinent cases quickly and easily.  Everything's accessible with just a point and click.

SpineConnect gives you access to a broader spine surgeon community, easy case wizards to quickly enter information, case management tools, an extensive case knowledgebase for ongoing education - all in one seamless package.  It's like having some of the world's leading spine surgeons on speed dial.  Only better.

SpineConnect ResearchEdge PN

SpineConnect ResearchEdge PN is a unique web-based tool for conducting case-based research.  ResearchEdge PN provides a secure environment to efficiently gather, compile, and analyze case data from multiple research centers.  ResearchEdge PN leverages the widely embraced SpineConnect platform - with over 1000 surgeon members, 900 posted cases and 4200 posted reviews - to create a powerful edge for conducting research.

ResearchEdge PN uses Syndicom's proven collaboration methodology to provide an effective infrastructure for streamlining case-based studies across clinical sites.   Research cases are submitted through SpineConnect's intuitive Case Wizard, already familiar to SpineConnect members.  Easy to use, robust research forms collect demographic and diagnostic data, image study data, and patient assessment scores.  Follow-up assessments and imaging are collected with each case.  Forms and follow-up periods can be quickly customized to meet specific needs, including prospective and retrospective studies.  Data can be exported in Excel, database and XML formats for further analysis.  ResearchEdge PN stores all collected information in a highly secure environment for future refererence.

With ResearchEdge you can use the power of SpineConnect to recruit, enroll and notify study participants, gather cases, view and export data - all with a click of the mouse.  There is no need to track down surgeons, sort through FedEx packages, or collect faxes.  Instead, ResearchEdge streamlines and accelerates the process of compiling, managing and exporting research data, resulting in superior data collection and lower costs.
