Surgical Outcomes System™ (SOS) Global Registry: The First to Encompass All Orthopedic Subspecialties

The Surgical Outcomes System (SOS) global registry is a web-based platform for collecting patient-reported outcomes. The registry allows physicians and their staff to create treatment templates for documenting consistent diagnosis and procedure information. Patients are able to share in the decision-making process related to their own treatment and recovery. Physicians can access patients' outcome data and compare it to the global deidentified average, and opt to share the information with patients to raise their recovery expectations.

The SOS™ global registry can interface with electronic health records, alerting the physician if a patient's pain threshold has deviated from expectations. Participation in the SOS global registry contributes points within the Quality, Advancing Care Information, and Improvement Activities performance categories of the Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) within the Quality Payment Program (QPP).

Arthrex has collaborated with the Arthroscopy Association of North America (AANA) and the Eastern Orthopedic Association (EOA) to provide access to the SOS registry as a member benefit. Enrolled physicians and facilities own their data.
