Minneapolis, Minnesota — BData Inc., a healthcare data science company that focuses on value creation from real world healthcare data is the new analytic partner to the National Quality Limb Loss & Preservation Registry (LLPR). The goal of the LLPR is to generate knowledge about which advances, and treatments impact the care of individuals with limb loss and limb difference. Consistent with quality registries that focus on other health populations, the LLPR will collect universal data elements and link hospital, provider and patient reported outcomes over time. The registry will strive to alleviate significant data gaps, increase access to care and improve care models related to prosthetics and limb preservation in the U.S.
“BData is excited to work with the vibrant community of individuals and organizations driving the Limb Loss & Preservation Registry. BData is looking forward to applying its healthcare data science capabilities and tools to maximize the value of the high-quality data being organized in the registry for the numerous stakeholders in this clinical space.” explains Bart Phillips, CEO, BData. “Having built clinical data networks in adjacent clinical areas like Burn Care we understand the challenges and opportunity with registry initiatives and look forward to leveraging our experiences and existing data network to create the most positive impact.”
The registry is led by Mayo Clinic under contract with the National Institutes of Health and the Department of Defense. The registry is enrolling both prosthetic/orthotic providers and hospital systems. It will transition to further operate within a nonprofit parent organization to be named this year. The LLPR represents key stakeholder groups including health care team members, researchers, regulators, manufacturers, payers, industry representatives, and patient groups. The LLPR provides data to compare the effectiveness of different surgical approaches, assess the efficacy of different clinical practices, and evaluate different assistive technologies
The BData team has extensive experience across the healthcare data ecosystem and in using real world data to drive research networks and quality improvement and performance improvement initiatives. BData has a proven track record of applying advanced data science techniques, like machine learning, to create valid insights that drive provider action. The Limb Loss and Preservation Registry can play a substantial role in closing the public health knowledge gap by giving stakeholders the ability to benchmark limb loss statistics, and analyze data by age, gender, type of limb loss or preservation surgery, prosthetic device as well as ask new questions.
