Here are five notes:
1. This partnership will help 16 of the practice’s physicians collect patient health outcome data.
2. The practice will also be able to compare their outcomes against OBERD’s nationwide musculoskeletal data, through access to OBERD’s Musculoskeletal and Quality of Life Registries.
3. OBERD’s data sets include information about hip and knee, hand and wrist, foot and ankle, spine and sports medicine.
4. Olympia Orthopaedic Associates’ institutional goals include benchmarking to national norms and improving patient experiences and outcomes with evidence-based care.
5. The practice performs more than 10,000 surgeries each year for more than 100,000 patients — a substantial number to add to the more than 1.5 million patients OBERD has in its database.
