AAPM&R's Registry is a qualified clinical data registry that follows patients longitudinally, with an emphasis on quality improvement. It can be used to meet your Merit-Based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) and American Board of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (ABPMR) Part IV Maintenance of Certification® (MOC®) requirements. Also, the collected data will help advance the understanding of the ever-growing pain patient population while demonstrating the quality and value of treatments.
Whether your practice consists of physiatrists, neurosurgeons, nurse practitioners, physician’s assistants, or anything in between—if you work with pain patients, you can participate in the Registry. Learn about one of our participating practices and why they chose our Registry below:
Spine and Sports Physiatrists
We have primarily a spine-focused practice with a heavy emphasis on musculoskeletal medicine. We do in-office EMG and ultrasound as well as fluoroscopically-guided spine procedures. We cover 2 high schools for sports and have regular resident rotations from several nearby PM&R programs.
Reason for Participation: We wanted to participate in the acquisition of data to help determine our outcome efficacy, and help in the effort to determine the time and place for operative and medical spine care in light of the future focus on population-based medicine.
