Dendrite Clinical Systems and the Society for Cardiothoracic surgery (SCTS) have published a new report that demonstrates importance collecting and analysing data from thoracic surgery. The report states that a large increase in thoracoscopic (VATS) resections is responsible for most of the recent increase in lung cancer surgery, rising from 749 cases in 2010-2011 to 2,753 in 2014-2015, an increase of more than 3.5 times.
Dendrite Clinical Systems is to install its Intellect System to track outcomes of cardiothoracic surgery at St George’s Hospital, Tooting, London, UK. The company’s data capture software currently supports approximately 85% of cardiac units in the UK. 
Dendrite Clinical Systems and Waldenström’s Macroglobulinaemia United Kingdom Charity have published the First UK Waldenström’s Macroglobulinaemia Registry Report 2018 – the first report of its kind in the world. 
Dendrite Clinical Systems, the publisher of Bariatric News, is pleased to announce issue 38 of the newspaper is now available to view/download. The newspaper reports on research, technology, events and policy in the bariatric specialty, the latest clinical studies, policy changes and product news, the latest meetings and events, interviews prominent bariatric experts, and host debates between specialists on controversial topics.
Dendrite Clinical Systems and the British Society for Allergy & Clinical Immunology (BSACI) have launched the British Registry for Immunotherapy (BRIT), a web-based patient registry that records immunotherapy treatment of patients under the care of BSACI consultants practicing in the UK.
Dendrite Clinical Systems, under the auspices of the International Federation for the Surgery of Obesity and Metabolic Disorders (IFSO), has published the Fourth IFSO Global Registry Report (2018) at the federation’s XXIII World Congress in Dubai, UAE.

Dendrite develops ‘One-button push’ outcomes module
Dendrite Clinical Systems has launched its ‘One-button push’ outcomes module, allowing clinicians to instantly produce their outcomes with the push of a single button. This enhancement is the latest in a series of advances incorporated into the company’s clinical registry software.
This innovative module collates a user’s data and publishes their data in a pdf report. The report -depending on the specialty - includes data on patient demographics, the number and type of performed procedures, complication rates, re-operation rates, length of hospital stay and outcomes etc. The outcomes report could be hugely beneficial during appraisal and revalidation as it produces evidence of the surgeon’s performance in the form of a real-time audit.
It can also bring benefits to individual hospitals and NHS Trusts, as they have been able to demonstrate the quality of service being provided to healthcare commissioners. Commissioners can see, via the individual surgeon’s outcomes report, that they are getting value for their money.
“This latest innovation provides users with the ability to report their clinical data for analysis all within a single software environment and with the push of a single button,” said Dr Peter Walton, Managing Director, Dendrite Clinical Systems. “Not only can users publish their outcomes but through the use of inbuilt risk stratification algorithms, over time they will be able to benchmark their results against national and international standards, using well-established statistical methods.”
