NeuroVascular Quality Initiative Quality Outcomes Database (NVQI-QOD) Celebrates 25,000th Procedure Milestone
FAIRFAX, Va.– The Society of NeuroInterventional Surgery’s (SNIS) Patient Safety Organization (PSO), in partnership with the NeuroPoint Alliance (NPA), is pleased to announce that the NVQI-QOD has recorded more than 25,000 procedures in the registry. This significant milestone underscores the value of clinical registries and real-world data.
Since 2013, NVQI-QOD has helped providers collect and analyze perioperative and follow-up data with the goal of improving patient care. Today, 40 medical centers throughout North America participate in the NVQI-QOD, covering nearly 23,000 total patients. The NVQI-QOD equips physicians with critical patient data on stroke and intracranial cerebrovascular diseases. Participation in the NVQI-QOD registry enables physicians, surgeons, and hospitals to assess their technical efficacy, clinical outcomes, safety and complications, length of stay and other critical metrics in comparison with national benchmarks for quality assurance and improvement.
“We’re thrilled with the momentum the registry has seen since just 2021, when we hit 10,000 recorded procedures,” says Daniel Sahlein, MD, medical director of the SNIS PSO. “Clinical registries give providers a critical tool to analyze data with the goal of strengthening outcomes for patients. The more data we have at our disposal, the more we achieve in providing safe and reliable neurovascular care.”
NVQI-QOD is an externally hosted, web-based registry supported on the Fivos PATHWAYS® platform, a secure, cloud-based solution for data collection and analysis. The NVQI-QOD is governed by the SNIS PSO, which takes direction from a Governing Council comprised of representatives from both the NPA and SNIS. NVQI-QOD is designed to easily integrate into a variety of workflows, allowing multiple users to access and enter data on a single form and spread the responsibilities of data entry to more than one individual.
Developed by physicians for physicians, NVQI-QOD captures 100% of procedures, including important demographic, procedure and post-op data, to provide comprehensive outcome analysis and inform performance improvement. A significant advantage of the NVQI-QOD database is the inclusion of long-term outcomes of one year, or longer.
“NVQI-QOD’s physician-driven safety-oriented design means improving outcomes will always be its top priority,” says Dr. J Mocco, a member of the Governing Council and past SNIS president, “There is no substitute for real-world data, and when dealing neurovascular procedures, the smallest details can make a world of difference. As NVQI-QOD continues to grow, we expect continued valuable clinical discoveries, leading to crucial insights on how to better care for our patients.”
