Smile Train Express Database
Smile Train Express Helps Cleft Community
The Smile Train Express: a free, secure, web-based patient database accessible to the global cleft community.
Visitors to this site can download The Smile Train's own Safety and Quality Improvement Protocol, a comprehensive set of cleft surgery guidelines developed by experts in the fields of safety and cleft surgery.
The benefits are clear: cleft organizations seeking to standardize and improve care can look to the Smile Train model for guidance, doctors in developing countries can standardize their record-keeping free of charge, and a database of secure, well-managed records could generate suggestions for new research.
The Smile Train Express is expected to have real impact on the problem of clefts worldwide, and is a natural extension of the Smile Train's commitment to make full use of technology in the treatment of clefts.
