COLUMBIA, Mo., June 25, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- OBERD, the industry-leading patient-reported outcomes (PRO) vendor, has been designated as a featured participant in the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons' (AAOS) PROMs Vendor Program¹.

According to AAOS PROMs workgroup chair Kurt P. Spindler, MD, FAAOS, "Finding the right technology vendor who can help ease the burden of collecting patient-reported outcome data is vital, but often complicated. We are pleased to welcome OBERD into AAOS' circle of featured PROMs vendors and look forward to further assisting and educating AAOS members with the PROMs implementation process."

Only technology vendors that meet specific outlined criteria for the AAOS PROMs Vendor Program are considered for inclusion. AAOS PROMs Vendor Program participants are selected based on a series of criteria assessing their ability to collect and submit patient-reported outcomes data, as well as their track record of submitting data to the AAOS Registries, among other information. This distinction further underscores AAOS'—and OBERD's—commitment to facilitate clinicians' ability to implement and utilize PROMs at the point of care.
