Practicing orthopaedic surgeons are subject to both the requirement and the opportunity to participate in individual or group quality assessment, quality-based payment programs, and clinical data registries. An important limitation to participating in and receiving the benefits of quality measuring activities and programs is the lack of a current resource outlining quality assessment models, current quality metrics, and the presence and function of current quality programs, payment models, and active orthopaedic registries. This article is intended as a primer for the practicing orthopaedic surgeon and orthopaedic groups. We provide a detailed overview of current quality metric databases, their categorization and use, and orthopaedic surgeon's role in creating and shaping the definition of quality care and outcomes assessment in the future.
骨科医生不仅有参与个体或团体质量评估、基于质量的支付计划和临床数据登记的要求，也有这样的机会。参与并从中受益于质量测量活动和计划的一个重要限制因素是缺乏当前资源，这些资源应概述质量评估模型、当前质量指标以及当前质量计划、支付模式和活跃的骨科登记处的存在和功能。本文旨在为骨科医生和骨科团队提供一个入门指南。我们详细介绍了当前的质量指标数据库，它们的分类和用途，以及骨科医生在未来创建和塑造质量护理和结果评估定义方面的作用。
