Description
The video transcript features a presentation at a session chaired by two individuals, who discuss the resources and reporting systems available for surgeons, particularly in relation to joint replacements. The speaker emphasizes the importance of these systems in improving surgical practices and patient outcomes, while also underlining the limited usage among surgeons due to a lack of awareness.
Key highlights include:
- An overview of the NJR (National Joint Registry) reporting systems, stressing that while many surgeons use a couple of resources, very few utilize all available tools.
- The significance of the annual report, which is now divided into manageable sections (shoulder, elbow, ankle) to enhance accessibility. There is also mention of upcoming knee and hip sections.
- Access to a wealth of data through the NJR website, which provides reports, statistics, and a transparent model for evaluating joint replacement activities.
- Discussion about data availability for individual surgeons, hospitals, and the importance of adjusting outcomes based on patient demographics to ensure fair assessments of surgical performance.
- The presentation outlines the various resources available for clinicians, hospital managers, and suppliers, focusing on how data can inform clinical practices, aid in decision-making, and identify areas for improvement.
- The importance of patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) is mentioned, with an update indicating that NHS will prioritize the provision of PROMs data for upcoming reports.
- Finally, the session transitions to the next speaker to discuss research papers, signifying the collaborative effort to enhance surgical practices through data sharing and continuous learning.
