Helping to Make a Better Tomorrow

Medical Data Systems, together with neonatologists nationwide, is helping to make a better tomorrow for all children with the National Neonatal Database™ (NND). The NND is an aggregation of clinical data for all NICU admissions from hospitals using the Neonatal Information System™. Member hospitals receive annual multi-institutional comparative statistical reports including the following comparisons, and more:

• Birthweight survivals
• Ventilatory support
• Incidence of a given diagnosis
• Length of stay statistics

These annual reports allow each participating institution to see how its service compares with the aggregate data from other member hospitals and provide the opportunity for further discussion of individual outcomes.

Complex Situations. Powerful Solutions

Working with neonatologists nationwide, Medical Data Systems is helping to bring new understanding to neonatal care. In addition to Multi-Institutional Comparative Analysis reports, MDS can, on a consultative basis, assist clients in utilizing this unique and robust source of data for such efforts as:

• Analyzing specific clinical conditions
• Applying for grants and contracts
• Conducting clinical research studies
