American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS)

"ASR has changed the way we manage our spine procedure data," says Tyler Kairos, Spine Coordinator at BAPTIST HEALTH MEDICAL CENTER - LITTLE ROCK. By participating in the American Spine Registry (#ASR), his team has gained valuable insights into patient outcomes, improved data-driven decision-making, and enhanced the quality of spine care. Orthopaedic surgeons and healthcare teams across the country are using ASR to benchmark performance, optimize treatments, and elevate patient care.
