The CardioAccess International Clinical Outcomes (ICO) Database is a fully relational, comprehensive database for both congenital and adult heart disease. CardioAccess' products function as a tool for patient care, teaching, research, and practice management. The ICO Database is comprised of four parts, the Congenital Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgical Database which includes all of the Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) congenital data elements, the Adult Cardiovascular Surgical Database which includes all of the Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) adult cardiovascular data elements, the soon to be released Adult Thoracic Surgical Database which includes all of the Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) adult thoracic data elements, and the CardioAccess Transplant Database. The goal of these databases is to provide medical practices with local or remote access to information leading to better medical care. This product was developed in conjunction with two cardiovascular surgeons: Jeffrey P. Jacobs, MD of St. Petersburg's All Children's Hospital and Redmond P. Burke, MD of Miami Children's Hospital. The CardioAccess' ICO Database was further improved and expanded under the direction of Condistantine Mavrous, MD chairman of The Society of Thoracic Surgeons Database subcommittee. and Chief of Cardiovascular Surgery at Children's Memorial Hospital in Chicago.
