Description
The transcript outlines the complexities and updates related to the National Joint Registry (NJR) for the current reporting year. The speaker explains that delays in report publishing, specifically for hip and knee surgeries, are due to the transition to a unified data warehouse and a global initiative toward standardizing component databases across registries. They emphasize the importance of feedback on the new separate joint reports for ankles, elbows, and shoulders to accommodate the specialized interests of surgeons. The speaker urges all specialists to engage with these reports to provide insight into the effectiveness of the changes and performance indicators, particularly in the context of the recovery from COVID-19 disruptions. Additionally, acknowledgments are given to key contributors to the NJR, highlighting their long-term involvement and the ongoing challenges in joint replacement performance across different healthcare sectors.
