Superpowers Unite & TAKE OVER!
Dr. Vance

FYI: N2QOD is Coming!
The National Neurosurgery Quality & Outcomes (N2QOD) REDCap data base is almost here at UTSW for our Neurosurgery Department. There are 3 components of this National Database: Cervical Spine, Lumbar Spine & Cerebrovascular. I will be maintaining this database along with the others we currently utilize. I am getting excited to learn about Cervical and Lumbar procedures!
