PearlDiver Unveils New Series of Ortho Market Reports

PearlDiver Technologies, Inc., a medical market research analytics company based in Fort Wayne, Ind., has developed a new series of reports targeting popular areas of the U.S. orthopedic market. The reports are organized around the procedure codes for the 30 highest-volume orthopedic procedures performed in the United States as shown in the PearlDiver Patient Records Database. The company unveiled its new series of products during the first day of the Orthopedic Design & Technology Conference and Exhibition being held in PearlDiver’s hometown Oct. 7-8.

With more than 230 million de-identified and fully HIPAA-compliant patient records in its database, PearlDiver has the most robust market studies available for U.S. markets, company officials said. Each report contains national procedure volumes, associated diagnoses, associated procedures, demographics, regional data, charging data, Medicare reimbursement data, and site-of-care data (if applicable). The reports are priced at $950 each, but officials said volume discounts are available.

“Based on initial response, the reports clearly offer the right information at the right price,” said PearlDiver CEO Robin Young. “PearlDiver’s reputation for quick and cost-effective provision of actionable information is well known. These new reports are simply the latest example of that ability, and they fit nicely with our growing list of product offerings.”

PearlDiver was founded in 2006 to provide the largest, fully HIPAA-compliant, publicly available and searchable database of patient records in the country. At present, the firm’s database contains more than 230 million de-identified patient records for an estimated 20 million patients from 2005 through 2008. PearlDiver’s plans call for the database to top 500 million patient records across approximately 40 million unique patients by the end of this year.
