Robotic Registry and CRNs

(Coordinated Registry Networks)

ISE is working in partnership with MDEpiNet and DNA-HIVE to design, develop, and implement a real-world data robotic surgery data registry. To determine what data would be helpful in moving forward, ISE convened a consensus conference of dozens of key constituencies, including robotic surgery experts, registry experts, government representatives, medical societies, and hospital leadership from around the United States. The registry will systematically collect in near real-time relevant device-related and process-related data. The registry is designed to be interoperable with clinical databases. The registry uses the data to improve device safety, surgeon/team performance, and patient outcomes.

Consensus-driven Registry Dataset

 

  • Patient demographics and patient history

  • Procedure information

  • Robotic device and instruments information

  • Information about intraoperative issues

  • Post-operative information and claims data

  • Patient reported outcomes

  • Surgeon and OR staff experience/training

Stakeholders Served by a Registry

  • Physicians to evaluate their operative performance for self-improvement

  • Educators to develop standardized training programs and certification processes for ongoing education, remediation, and privileging

  • Hospitals to develop quality measures, effectiveness and risk assessment for quality improvement

  • Societies to develop standards for robotic-assisted procedures and continuing education and training

 
 
 

  • Industry to assess the performance of their devices to promote more rapid iterations towards improved functionality and safety

  • Government to maintain minimal safety and effectiveness standards and stay informed of new developments that could influence policies

  • Patients to participate in quality initiatives to continuously improve surgical outcomes (patient reported outcomes)

Robotic Coordinated Registry Network Update

ISE’s most recent conference to finalize planning for the registry launch was held on May 20, 2022. See the agenda below.

A special thanks to the event sponsors, Johnson & Johnson and CMR Surgical. ISE greatly appreciates their continued support.

Goals of the Meeting

  1. Describe MDEpiNet’s roles and value proposition

  2. Introduce new technology partner – DNA HIVE

  3. Describe established data standards and interoperability

  4. Discuss the benefits of participating institutions

  5. Understand industry’s needs

  6. Discuss the importance of registry outcome data and analytics

Goals After the Meeting

  1. Fundraising to support registry development and implementation

  2. Set timeline and action steps for a limited launch
