Orthopaedic Quality Resource Center Launches with Additional Measures

AAHKS, the American Orthopaedic Association (AOA) and the American Joint Replacement Registry (AJRR) launched improvements to the Orthopaedic Quality Resource Center that allows for eligible professionals and institutions to participate in both the Physician Quality Reporting System (PQRS) and Meaningful Use programs. The platform features 38 PQRS and custom measures. Collaboration between AJRR and AAHKS facilitated the addition of four custom measures that document processes and outcomes of hip arthroplasty patients.
