Data analysis & research
SVS VQI physicians may request de-identified datasets from each SVS VQI registry for analysis. The SVS PSO Arterial Research Advisory Council (RAC) reviews and evaluates requests for datasets by investigators, who provide the RAC with a description of their proposed project.
Proposals are evaluated by the Arterial Research Advisory Council every other, and the Venous Research Advisor Council in the other months.
Rac approved project search
This RAC Approved Search function is designed to assist investigators before submitting new dataset requests to the National Research Advisory Committee (RAC). In particular, the Search results will provide past Project ID, Submission Period, Date Range, Project Title, PI and Research Question.
Data analysis guidelines for use
In order to ensure protection of de-identified datasets and fair access for members, investigators should familiarize themselves with the SVS PSO guidelines and policies on use, listed below.
svs vqi medicare matched blinded datasets
Medicare-match datasets are available for some datasets on a limited basis – please read the overview and dataset details here before you request these datasets to ensure that the data will benefit your study. The Medicare-match data are provided under a separate Data Use Agreement through Weill Cornell and there is a 3 – 6 month further lead time, once the project is approved.
