The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons Fracture and Trauma Registry will now be powered by PatientIQ, according to a press release from the AAOS.

The partnership allows the AAOS Fracture and Trauma Registry (FTR) to utilize the cloud-based system from PatientIQ to collect registry participation and evidence-based practices from electronic health records, according to the release.

“The orthopedic community looks to the AAOS to set the benchmarks for clinical best practices and provide the most innovative resources to unlock evidence-based insights,” Michael J. Gardner, MD, FAAOS, chair of the AAOS FTR Steering Committee, said in the release. “By leaning on PatientIQ's expertise to deploy EHR-integrated outcomes programs, we take the power of our clinical registry to a new tier. This new registry offering will improve the often-cumbersome data submission process and gives participants a new option for enrolling,” Gardner said.

“Improving patient care begins with a solid understanding of how clinical procedures translate into patient outcomes,” Matthew Gitelis, CEO of PatientIQ, said in the release. “We're proud to partner with AAOS to grow the number of sites participating in the FTR and reduce the technical burdens to participating, thereby unlocking the potential for the largest data-sharing network in the world,” he added.
