Central Nervous System Diseases (CNS)

Diseases that result in progressive damage and degeneration of neurons in the brain and Central Nervous System include disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, Huntington’s disease, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), Multiple Sclerosis (MS), and others.

The prevalence of these diseases, particularly those that affect the aged, is predicted to increase rapidly in the coming decades. Supporting data suggests that the predicted number of cases of Alzheimer’s disease will quadruple by 2050. It is estimated that interventions that can delay disease onset or progression by just one year would reduce the number of predicted cases of Alzheimer’s disease by 9.2 million.¹

Analysis of data from a cohort of patients with Central Nervous System diseases can help researchers gain insights into various aspects of patients’ lives and tailor interventions to improve their physical, psychological, and social well-being. This holistic approach to care can result in better patient outcomes, enhanced quality of life, and a more comprehensive understanding of the factors influencing CNS disease management.

Actionable, research-ready, Central Nervous System (CNS) - specific data

Veradigm’s Central Nervous System Therapy Focused Solution is a natural language processing (NLP) enhanced, CNS-focused sub-section of Veradigm Network EHR Data. Because Veradigm has direct access to the Veradigm Network of electronic health records (EHRs), we can access and analyze unstructured notes that are not routinely offered with other deidentified real world data (RWD) providers – all on a massive scale.

Veradigm Therapy Focused Solutions can help you:

• Develop and better understand current therapies available for patients with CNS disorders to facilitate optimal patient outcomes
• Evaluate risk factors for CNS-specific diseases in important patient subgroups, develop prediction models for use in daily care, and improve the quality of patient care
• Understand a more complete picture of the patient journey while still allowing researchers to distill down into the details of care
• Never be left in the dark with expert technical and analytical training and support by Veradigm’s data subject matter experts
• Spend less time managing the data and more time on analysis that provides great results
