National Pert Consortium Inc

The organization has established a comprehensive database, coalescing data from all participating pert sites (anticipated to be more than 75 sites within two years), a large high-quality dataset, coordinated and owned by the organization (with data from each site owned by organization and the pert site). The database will allow sites to (a)enable quality improvement and benchmarking for individual institutions and practitioners to evaluate their own data (self-assessment), (b) compare their strategy and outcomes to treatment algorithms and combined outcomes at other sites, (c) utilize the information to improve/update practices at their own institution, and (d) access a large dataset to facilitate analysis and evaluate efficacy of various approaches and treatment modalities for pe. Access to the database and its wealth of information is one of the multiple benefits that member institutions can take advantage of; membership value proposition is to gain support from others who support the organization's mission at various levels and includes but is not limited to sponsorship opportunities, participation in special educational projects, membership on certain committees of the organization and attendance to the annual symposium event. Additionally, the organization may generate program fees from collaborative pert-related research agreements with unrelated entities. The organization's research furthers the field of pe knowledge and promotes enhanced care and information.
