NASS 2019 Annual Meeting

Surgical Symposium: Predictive Analysis and Data Utilization to Improve Patient Assessment and Outcomes in Adult Spinal Deformity Surgery (Room Skyline Ballroom W375ab)

Moderator: Shay Bess, MD

 

Predictive analytics are increasingly employed by medical systems to evaluate patients and improve clinical care outcomes. This instructional course will provide a methodological overview of techniques used to employ predictive analytics to medical databases, and share research findings from the International Spine Study Group and the European Spine Study Group designed to improve counseling for adult spinal deformity patients undergoing surgery.

 

Upon completion of this session, participants should gain strategies to:

  • Understand the science of predictive analytics and identify appropriated computer modeling and statistical techniques used for the field of predictive analytics;
  • Familiarize with computer-based platforms usable to assess adult spine deformity patients;
  • Use predictive analytics to council adult spinal deformity patients on anticipated surgical complications and clinical outcomes;
  • Identify platforms usable to generate cost savings for adult spine deformity surgery.
