Syndicom

What is it?

A ResearchEdge™ group is a unique web-based tool for conducting case-based research. ResearchEdge™ provides a secure environment to rapidly gather, compile, and analyze cases from multiple research centers. ResearchEdge™ extends the widely embraced Syndicom collaborative community platform to create a powerful edge for conducting research.

How does it work?

ResearchEdge™ uses Syndicom’s proven collaboration methodology to provide an effective infrastructure for streamlining case-based studies. Research cases are submitted through Syndicom’s intuitive Case Wizard. Easy to use, robust case data entry forms collect demographic and diagnostic data, image study data, and patient assessment scores. Follow-up assessments and imaging are collected with each case. Forms and follow-up periods can be quickly customized to meet specific needs, including prospective and retrospective studies. Data can be exported in Excel, database and XML formats for further analysis. ResearchEdge™ stores all collected information in a highly secure environment for future reference.

With ResearchEdge™, you can use the power of Syndicom to recruit and notify study participants, gather cases, view and export data – all with a click of the mouse. There is no need to track down surgeons, sort through Fed Ex packages, or collect faxes. Instead, ResearchEdge™ streamlines and accelerates the process of compiling, managing and exporting research data, resulting in superior data collection and lower costs.
