How Exactly Does SCOPE Work?

SpecialtyCare’s reach stretches far and wide to thousands of medical facilities all across the United States. This puts our organization in a unique position to collect data that could produce results that have a potential national effect on the procedural operations of ORs in America, as well as the practice of the procedures themselves. In order to collect that data and produce results in an accurate and organized fashion, we created a huge database, the biggest of its kind, that allows us to present ourselves and hospital staff with all kinds of helpful information. In turn, we can all use the information and work together to improve surgical departments as a whole and also compare results with other hospitals and medical facilities.

Presenting and comparing information in the healthcare field is incredibly important because it allows physicians and other professionals to improve on their practices and improve on patient care and eventual outcomes. The information we collect is not the type of information hospitals would normally have access to in their own databases. This is why SpecialtyCare chooses to share its wealth of knowledge. The more everyone knows in the field, the greater the chance patient outcomes will be more successful.

As you’re reading this right now, our clinicians are taking care of a patient somewhere in the country. Once they’re done and the patient is out of their care, the clinicians will go into SCOPE and enter information about their experience with that specific case. Then, as fast as the next day, other clinicians will have access to what previous clinicians just learned, allowing knowledge and practices to grow every single day. Each service line, whether it be Perfusion, IONM or another line, has its own version of SCOPE that is designed specifically for that line. SpecialtyCare also publishes the most vital data in Peer Review Journals to consistently improve the clinical art of each line. We do this so that others in the field can take our findings under consideration.

Every medical field has pressing questions, and it’s important to know that we don’t address these questions based solely on anecdotal experience. Thanks to SCOPE, we use hard numbers and statistical methods to answer these clinical questions. We have hundreds of thousands of cases in our database to analyze, making it the biggest repository of data in allied health.
