Medtronic introduced the new UNiD ePRO service in the United States, offering spine surgeons an alternative for patient outcomes collection. Medtronic has partnered with OBERD, a practice intelligence data collection company, to provide spine surgeons with an electronic Patient Reported Outcomes (ePRO) system. UNiD ePRO integrates with a customer’s existing Electronic Medical Record (EMR) system in the hospital and clinic and the UNiD ASI platform to provide a seamless experience.
The OBERD platform offers improved data collection methods both pre- and post-operatively through integration into the EMR, increasing patient response rates by 40% to 60% on average.
UNiD ePRO provides opportunities such as:
- Saving time and increasing PRO compliance without additional burden on staff.
- Actionable insights to benchmark individual outcomes in comparison to the broader spine surgeon community.
- Enhancing the patient experience by engaging them through various channels (e-mail, text, web portal, app) and delivering patient-specific educational materials and resources throughout their care journey.
- Gaining influence with payors by sharing reports and PRO data on demand.
UNiD ePRO may enable patients to recover more quickly, leaving the hospital sooner by minimizing the effects of stress on the body after surgery. Success is based on empowering patients to be a partner in their own care through shared and informed decision-making. Studies have shown that educating the patient on the keys to enhanced recovery prior to surgery and immediately after surgery can positively impact length of stay, readmissions and complication rates.
“Our launch of the new UNiD ePRO service demonstrates Medtronic’s unwavering commitment to improving patient care throughout the perioperative process. Within the AiBLE™ ecosystem, we are bringing smarter connected technologies to help enhance patient care across the care continuum. UNiD ePRO is a valuable tool that will centralize the collection of PROs, complement radiographic outcomes on the UNiD Hub, enhance clinic workflows, and ultimately allow surgeons and medical staff to maximize their focus on patient care and treatment,” said Sean Haag, Vice President, Intelligent Data Solutions (iDS) within the Cranial and Spinal Technologies business, which is part of the Neuroscience Portfolio at Medtronic. “Having surpassed the milestone of 20,000 cases on the UNiD ASI platform, the new UNiD ePRO solution further solidifies our position as a data-centric spine company dedicated to advancing predictability and patient outcomes.”
