Understanding Central Nervous System (CNS) Diseases
Central Nervous System (CNS) diseases encompass a range of conditions that lead to the progressive degeneration and damage of neurons in the brain. These disorders include well-known conditions like Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, Huntington’s disease, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), Multiple Sclerosis (MS), and others. The prevalence of these diseases, especially those affecting the elderly, is expected to rise significantly in the upcoming years. Statistics indicate that the number of Alzheimer's disease cases is projected to quadruple by 2050. Research suggests that even a one-year delay in disease onset or progression could potentially reduce the number of expected Alzheimer's cases by 9.2 million.
Importance of Data Analysis in CNS Disease Management
Analyzing data from a cohort of patients with CNS diseases can provide researchers with valuable insights into various aspects of patients' lives. This data can help tailor interventions to enhance patients' physical, psychological, and social well-being. By taking a holistic approach to care, healthcare providers can achieve better patient outcomes, improve quality of life, and gain a deeper understanding of the factors influencing the management of CNS diseases.
Veradigm's CNS Therapy Focused Solution
Veradigm offers a specialized Central Nervous System Therapy Focused Solution that leverages natural language processing (NLP) to enhance electronic health record (EHR) data related to CNS diseases. By accessing unstructured notes from the Veradigm Network of EHRs, researchers can gain insights not typically available through other deidentified real-world data providers. This solution enables stakeholders to: - Understand and optimize current therapies for CNS disorders - Identify risk factors in patient subgroups for CNS diseases - Develop prediction models to enhance patient care quality - Gain a comprehensive view of the patient journey while still delving into specific care details
Key Features of Veradigm's Solution
Veradigm's CNS Therapy Focused Solution integrates enhanced NLP tables with structured data from semi-structured EHR fields and unstructured physician notes. The platform offers multiple EHR data sources representing a vast patient population, robust deidentification protocols, standardized data organization, and a growing dataset of over 4.7 million CNS cohort patients in the Veradigm Network. Key disease states covered include Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Multiple Sclerosis, Epilepsy, and more.
Empowering Researchers with Data Insights
By offering direct access to deidentified Veradigm Network EHR Data and NLP tables in a queryable format, Veradigm facilitates in-depth analysis and research for CNS diseases. Researchers benefit from expert technical and analytical support, allowing them to focus on generating impactful results instead of managing data. The platform is platform-agnostic and delivers data in flat, delimited text files, enabling seamless integration into various environments.
