Physicians Neck & Back Clinics
(PNBC)’s
research capabilities are driven by our proprietary dataBACK™ Outcomes Reporting System. At a development
cost of several hundred thousand dollars, dataBACK™ is
a computerized data collection system that electronically
tracks and quantifies each patient’s long-term clinical
success. Patient data is then compiled and sent in the
form of electronic reports to referring physicians, documenting
PNBC’s treatment effectiveness on each physicians’ referred
patients. Additionally, dataBACK™ can provide aggregate
patient data (protecting each patients anonymity) to third
party payors, documenting the effect of PNBC’s treatment
on the payors’ insured population. Elements of dataBACK™ collection and reporting include:
Area of the body undergoing
treatment
Program status
PNBC treating physician
Diagnosis
Effect of treatment on chief complaint
Pre/post treatment
Oswestry scores (measurement of disability)
Improvements
in spinal strength
Overall patient satisfaction with PNBC
medical care
As a unique
tool unlike any other found in a specialty medical practice,
dataBACK™ signifies
PNBC’s belief
of and commitment to the need for health care providers
to document the ongoing effectiveness of their spinal treatment.
