InVivoLink Value Stories: Registry Data Collection by Dr. Michael J. Christie M.D. [VIDEO]

So what impresses me about InVivoLink, what I think people need to know about InVivoLink is the approach to problem solving. So the premise that Ryan Wells had at the beginning which is we need to gather information not just locally, because you can use that to take better care of patients, but nationally so we can take better care of patients in larger populations. How are we going to do that?

InVivoLink decided to do was try to find ways, solutions, to the data collection that incentivize the data collectors to do it. So if you help figure out which implants we’re using by making that part of the scheduling piece. If we collect data just one time so all the demographic data goes one time, not 55 times, then all the sudden data collection isn’t as big a problem.

And so what we see in InVivoLink is the opportunity really to do all that stuff and did it in a way that is very technologically up-to-date, very easy to do for our staff, for us as doctors.

The concept of the company was so fantastic, well-conceived, well thought out. More impressive even than that was the fact that the execution has been fantastic.

The second video in our "InVivoLink Value Stories" series features Dr. Michael Christie, an admired orthopedic surgeon who performs approximately 600 total joint replacements per year.  In this video Dr. Christie explains his perspective on why data collection for a Level 3 Joint Replacement Registry is important and how InVivoLink eliminates the traditional data collection barriers.  We are especially proud of Dr. Christie's comments on InVivoLink's high performing implementation services.

Later this week I will publish a new video from another highly respected orthopedic physician.  This third segment in our series will focus on how InVivoLink elevates quality of care while making practices and research work more efficient.
