NuVasive Inc. announced its SpineTrack Registry has received the designation of quality clinical data registry by CMS for the 2018 merit-based incentive payment system reporting year, according to a company press release. SpineTrack participants can now use the platform to earn Medicare payment incentives.
The registry is a prospective, multicenter, observational data collection quality improvement tool created in 2011. It is intended for spine practices and allows surgeons to use real-time reports to make better treatment decisions. It also allows patients to track their progress to understand treatment benefits and allows hospitals to assess outcomes to help provide high-value care.
“SpineTrack is a unique differentiator for NuVasive and is the longest-running spine outcomes database sponsored by any spine company,” Matt Link, executive vice president, strategy, technology and corporate development for NuVasive, said in the release. “Since 2011, more than 9,500 patients have been enrolled in SpineTrack and numerous peer-reviewed papers have been published using its data. The [quality clinical data registry] QCDR designation helps our customers meet quality-reporting criteria to deliver optimal results and earn incentives that can grow their practices. This is truly a value-add that aligns with our focus on systems-based spine solutions.”
