Adult Cardiac Surgery Database: 4.20.2, 2.9, 2.81, 2.73, 2.61, 2.52.1 (INTL)
General Thoracic Surgery Database: 2.41, 2.3, 2.2, 2.081, 2.07 (INTL)

Website: www.cardioaccess.com

CardioAccess is committed to becoming the world leader in medical information management and has been supplying automated information systems for more than 10 years.  Our products are designed and developed with the assistance of cardiothoracic surgeons and staff in order to deliver a product that is both useful and easy to use by all key medical personnel.
                  
CardioAccess has created the International Clinical Outcomes Database (ICO), a fully relational, comprehensive database for both congenital and adult heart disease.  CardioAccess products function as a tool for patient care, teaching, research and practice management.  The International Clinical Outcomes Database is comprised of three parts, the Congenital Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgical Database, the Adult Cardiovascular Surgical Database and the Adult Thoracic Surgical Database.  These databases include all of the required Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) data elements.  The goal of these databases is to provide medical practices with local or remote access to information leading to better medical care.
 
CardioAccess is pleased to announce that we are now 100% Phase I and Phase 2 certified for the 2.61 Adult Cardiac software specifications.  We were officially the first vendor to do so.  Users of our adult cardiovascular surgical database can now actively participate in the STS' data harvest as well as calculate the risk of patient mortality based on the STS risk stratification algorithms. 

CardioAccess has helped set the standard for data collection for congenital heart disease.  Currently, CardioAccess is one of only a few software vendors to offer a database to collect congenital heart disease surgical data. We have worked in conjunction with the Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) and Duke Clinical Research Institute (DCRI) to standardize the way data is collected for pediatric heart surgery. Beginning in October 2002, CardioAccess users began successfully participating in STS Congenital Data Harvests.  This database is fully compliant with the standards set by the International Congenital Heart Surgery Nomenclature and Database Project which is described in detail in the April 2000 edition of the Annals of Thoracic Surgery.

CardioAccess users have successfully submitted data on coronary artery bypass graft surgeries to both the California CABG Outcomes Reporting Program (CCORP) and to the New York State Adult Cardiac Surgery Reporting System (CSRS) with the help of export utilities housed within the adult STS database.

Our Adult Cardiovascular Surgical Database has received certification from the STS based on the data specifications version 2.07. The thoracic database is available as a standalone database or combined with our Adult Cardiovascular Surgical Database.
