Why Multi-Institutional?
Single-center studies often lack the power to identify rare complications or long-term trends. By pooling data across 20+ sites, ThORN creates opportunities for practice-changing discoveries.
- Link short-term outcomes with long-term survival
- Validate findings against deep EHR documentation
Rapid Response Capability
ThORN's infrastructure allows for the rapid deployment of consensus guidelines and multi-site data collection during healthcare crises.
Case Study: COVID-19 Triage
ThORN members developed and published national triage standards for thoracic surgery within weeks of the pandemic, providing clarity for healthcare providers at a time of crisis.
