Cure SMA Care Center Network

The mission of the Cure SMA Care Center Network is to provide the best healthcare including offering new therapies and to gather and disseminate new knowledge to advance standard of care for pediatric and adult persons with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA).

Cure SMA Care Center Network Sites

To establish best care, Cure SMA has partnered with SMA care centers throughout the U.S. to form the Cure SMA Care Center Network. Each care center is committed to improving care. Each center shares consented patient information from electronic medical records with the Cure SMA Clinical Data Registry. These centers also share information about how their center provides care to patients with SMA and they engage in reviewing and analyzing the data collected to continuously improve care and progress toward evidence driven care.

About the SMA Clinical Data Registry

The SMA Clinical Data Registry (SMA Registry) is central to our work to improve SMA care. The SMA registry gathers SMA patient healthcare data from the SMA Care Center Network. The ability to gather information on a large number of patients with SMA in one registry is powerful. Analysis of the SMA registry data will guide how every center can provide the best care and drive care improvements throughout the SMA community. This information will be used to establish SMA best practice clinical guidelines.

This registry is secure and fire-walled to maintain confidentiality.

Value of the SMA Clinical Data Registry

diversity-icon

Diverse and Representative

The diversity of centers in the Care Center Network, both geographically and in the number of patients with SMA at each center, provides real-world data on a broad range of patients. We continue to work toward a registry that fully represents the diverse SMA community so we can better understand current care.

Comprehensive

The SMA Registry platform is populated by an electronic transfer of consented patient electronic medical record (EMR) sourced data. This EMR-sourced data is supplemented with manual entry of specific data to provide a more complete story of each patient’s healthcare. The data can be used to understand a variety of additional aspects of care including pulmonary, nutrition, mental health, and more.

Deep

The SMA Clinical Data Registry contains detailed SMA-specific data, including genetic information, diagnostic journey, milestones, treatment, and motor function assessments. This allows for specific analyses on outcomes of interest for the SMA community, such as reducing the time to diagnosis or time to first treatment.

Analyzable

All Care Center sites use EMR systems that package data in specific formats, which produces data that is easier to analyze. The data in the SMA Clinical Data Registry allows us to derive results that benefit the SMA community and support the improvement of standards of care.
