Participation in the American Spine Registry (ASR) provides unparalleled opportunities for neurosurgical and orthopaedic spine practices to improve patient outcomes, benchmark performance, and advance the quality of spine care. The ASR is a collaborative registry with the American Association of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) and the American Association of Neurological Surgeons (AANS). With PatientIQ, the process of participating in the ASR becomes seamless and efficient, allowing practices to focus on what matters most: delivering exceptional care.
ASR participation enables sites to gain actionable insights to enhance treatment strategies and outcomes. By analyzing registry data, practices can implement targeted interventions that improve patient safety and quality of care.
Participation allows practices to benchmark their performance against national data. This comparison helps identify opportunities for improvement, fostering a culture of continuous quality enhancement.
By sharing data, participating sites contribute to the broader spine surgery community. This collaboration drives innovation and advancements in treatment protocols, benefiting the entire field.
Participation in ASR demonstrates high standards of care, supporting payer relationships, certifications, and accreditations. It highlights your organization’s commitment to quality and excellence in spine care.
Despite its benefits, manual participation in ASR comes with significant challenges:
IT Resource Dependence: Data extraction and aggregation require substantial IT involvement, straining resources.
Paper Vanguard Forms: Manual data entry often required to submit spine surgery-specific information.
Clinical Resource Burden: Collecting and submitting data manually places an additional burden on clinical and administrative staff.
PatientIQ transforms the process by automating workflows, eliminating manual tasks, and enhancing data analytics capabilities. Here’s how:
Using FHIR Epic APIs, PatientIQ seamlessly pulls required data fields directly from your EHR. This automation eliminates the need for IT support or FTE resources, saving time and reducing errors. PatientIQ also automates the collection and aggregation of relevant Patient-Reported Outcomes, thus incorporating the patient perspective into your data.
EHR integration allows clinical teams to capture optional Vanguard data such as procedure performed at each level (e.g., decompression fusion) and primary patient symptom, directly in the patient’s chart.
PatientIQ provides advanced analytics tools to help clinical teams benchmark outcomes and leverage AI Recovery Insights. These tools identify risks and actionable trends directly within the patient’s chart, enabling more proactive care planning.
PatientIQ aggregates, validates, and submits data directly to ASR, ensuring compliance without manual intervention. This streamlined process reduces resource dependency and enhances data accuracy.
