Trio of Thyroid Organizations chooses e-Survey from Intertwine Systems for Nationwide Medical Survey
Baltimore, MD (PRWEB) October 10, 2006
Intertwine Systems (ISI) today announced the successful conclusion of an important online thyroid health survey.
ISI was engaged by the American Thyroid Association (ATA), The Endocrine Society (TES) and the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists (AACE), the three largest Endocrine associations in the country, to help them study an issue of national significance. Working closely with the partnership, ISI built an online survey, the Thyroid Pharmacovigilance Project, which “provides a mechanism for physicians and pharmacists to report information about possible adverse events or product availability problems related to thyroid hormone medications” according to the ATA.
In addition to the survey, ISI created custom emails for each organization and launched the communication to the partnership’s 14,000 members, who are spread out across the United States. The successful incidence of response provided the partnership with increased insight and valuable information on drug reactions.
ISI is the number one provider of web technology to thyroid organizations in the US and was the natural choice to assist the partnership in protecting thyroid patients. ISI has built several Web sites and Web-based applications to aid in the dissemination of thyroid-related information to both health professionals and the public, including: http://www.thyroid.org (the official Web site of the ATA); http://www.thyroidroadmap.org, which provides users with articles on selected topics and http://www.thyroidtrials.org, which links users with relevant clinical trials.
