American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons Introduces the Shoulder & Elbow Registry Powered by PatientIQExpanded partnership with PatientIQ builds on success of Fracture & Trauma Registry integration ROSEMONT, Ill., Jan. 31, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) has expanded its partnership with PatientIQ to offer Shoulder & Elbow Registry (SER) participants a turnkey solution for data submission. Integration of PatientIQ's cloud-based platform into the SER marks the second AAOS Registry to offer a seamless experience that simplifies the ability to automate the collection and normalization of outcomes data. Together with AAOS, PatientIQ is reducing barriers to tracking evidence-based best practices and advancing the delivery of musculoskeletal care. Building on Fast-Growing Adoption "Since the inception of the Shoulder & Elbow Registry, the AAOS has sought to revolutionize the way data can be leveraged to improve patient care," said Grant E. Garrigues, MD, FAAOS, SER Steering Committee Chair. "PatientIQ's technology and expertise in orthopedic data collection and analysis furthers our ability to establish best practices and optimize patient outcomes." A New Tier of Registry Participation Technologybr />To optimize AAOS registry participation, PatientIQ leverages FHIR-based APIs and other live integration functionality to extract and translate critical health information into registry-compliant specifications and submit it on behalf of participating orthopaedic surgeons. In doing so, PatientIQ eliminates the administrative and technological burden often associated with submitting procedural, post-operative, and patient-reported outcomes data to clinical registries. "We're excited to continue building a modern clinical registry infrastructure with the AAOS, in which our technology can serve as a powerful conduit to clinical discovery," said Matthew Gitelis, CEO, PatientIQ. Hospital sites, ambulatory service centers, or institutions where fracture and trauma or shoulder and elbow-related incidents are treated are invited to participate in the FTR and SER registries. To get involved with the FTR or SER, email an AAOS Registry engagement associate at [email protected], call 847-292-0530, or visit www.aaos.org/registries.

AAOS Registry Program The AAOS Registry Program's mission is to improve orthopaedic care through the collection, analysis, and reporting of actionable data. The American Joint Replacement Registry (AJRR), the Academy's hip and knee replacement registry, is the cornerstone of the AAOS's Registry Program, and the world's largest national registry of hip and knee joint replacement data by annual procedural count, with more than 3 million procedures contained within its database. Additional registries include the Fracture & Trauma Registry (FTR), the Musculoskeletal Tumor Registry (MsTR), the Shoulder & Elbow Registry (SER), and the American Spine Registry (ASR), a collaborative effort between the American Association of Neurological Surgeons (AANS) and the AAOS.
