Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Spinal Surgery Issues at Children's University Hospital Temple Street: Children's Health Ireland

Dr. Ike Okafor:

We are in the process of setting up outcomes for children with complex spinal surgery. We have employed a data manager in Temple Street and we are in the process of replacing somebody else in Crumlin who left the office two months ago. We are looking at two systems, namely, Amplitude and REDCap, and we want to be able to feed our data into the Scoliosis Research Society. It is one of the improvement projects we are actively working on in order that we will be actively able not just to capture our outcomes but also to subject them to international scrutiny.
