About this episode

This episode discusses the National Spinal Cord Injury Statistical Center and its role in spinal cord injury data collection and analysis.

The National Spinal Cord Injury Statistical Center (NSCISC) coalesces data from the Spinal Cord Injury Model Systems Centers (SCIMS) , a network of combined research and care teams that specialize in spinal cord injury (SCI). The statistical center generates national SCI demography, published in their annual full report and "facts and figures" summary. In this summary, a variety of experts will tell us about their use of the NSCISC and their experience with SCIMS, including a history of these important national services and the importance of continuing them into the future. Importantly, this episode was planned and hosted in conjunction with INside the OUTcomes: A Rehabilitation Research Podcast , with their producer-host Sharon Parmet.
