AAPM&R’s Registry is a single repository of rehabilitation data which will harness the combined power in numbers of the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation specialty. This mass of data can then aid the specialty and others by guiding efforts to reduce burnout, defend scope of practice and demonstrate the value of rehabilitation care. AAPM&R’s Registry will also provide data to improve care by tracking success on a national scale, gaining insights from Patient Reported Data and studying the most effective treatments for patients. As more data is collected, rehabilitation will become stronger, together.
With AAPM&R’s Registry, participants can compare their patient outcomes, professional performance and care processes against other physicians across the country. The Registry will be able to measure the continuum of care from initial patient contact, through intervention and follow up.
