Database analytic services – The Clinical Informatics longitudinal database has integrated and comprehensive dialysis treatment laboratory and medication data, including both intravenous and oral, for nearly a third of the U.S. dialysis population. Our expert programmers have the ability to provide you with a clean database that is “research ready” for your own analytics team, or our programmers and modelers can design and run customized analyses, getting you the timely information you need to make critical, real-world business or clinical decisions.
Highlights of our database include:
-
Treatment level data on 115,000 patients
-
Oral medication and intravenous drug data with NDC codes parsed to ensure accuracy
-
Comprehensive laboratory results
Biostatistical support - Our statisticians are available every phase of the observational research process, from study design to parametric and non-parametric testing to support creating abstracts and manuscripts.
Health economics and consulting services – Given the looming fundamental changes in U.S. health care reimbursement, you need to understand, anticipate, and plan how these changes will affect your business. We provide world-class expertise in health economics, pairing the power of our comprehensive longitudinal database with state-of-the-art modeling to answer your most critical questions.
