OBERD Partners with Illinois Bone & Joint Institute, for Outcomes Data CollectionCOLUMBIA, Mo., Aug. 22, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Through its relationship with orthopedic HCIT solutions leader SRS Health, Universal Research Solutions, LLC (a.k.a. OBERD) has partnered with Chicago-based Illinois Bone & Joint Institute (IBJI) to electronically collect patient reported outcomes data and report MIPS quality data to CMS. Through this partnership, IBJI will have access to OBERD's nationwide data sets, the world's largest orthopedic database, with the goal of supporting evidence-based care and improving patient health outcomes. OBERD's enterprise solution is designed to collect large amounts of information from patients with minimal burden, and make that available to providers and administrators as actionable data. This aligns with IBJI's commitment to providing collaborative, comprehensive care, and their progressive approach to returning patients to good health through evidence-based medicine. OBERD's Registries provide large data sets for benchmarking and research that will support IBJI's efforts to improve the quality of care delivered to its patients. "We are honored to have partnered with IBJI, one of the most prestigious and progressive orthopedic institutions in the nation," said Ali Hussam, PhD, OBERD founder and chief executive officer. "Together with SRS Health, we will help IBJI demonstrate the value of their care, and show the performance of their physicians, from the outcomes data collected from their patients. They can benchmark against other OBERD clients and against aggregate outcomes data from thousands of physicians, and millions of patients, nationwide." "At IBJI, we continually strive to enhance our clinical delivery model around the patient's needs," said André Blom, IBJI chief operating officer. "When we looked at the depth and breadth of orthopedic data that OBED collects and quantifies, there was no question that their system could provide us with the insights to keenly refine our ongoing quality improvement initiatives. Understanding the complete spectrum of our clinical intervention strategies will serve us well on a daily basis, especially in the emerging Value Based Care models in which we participate."
