The Surgeon Performance Program (SPP) delivers a robust quality improvement and assessment registry that empowers surgeons to optimize performance and elevate patient outcomes in pediatric spinal deformity care. Participants receive real‑time Dashboard Reports with comparative practice data that drive best‑practice adoption and shared learning.
In partnership with POSNA, SPP also offers the Surgeon Quality Improvement Database (SQID)—the first POSNA‑supported QI registry. Both programs provide real‑time, comparative dashboard reporting to help clinicians benchmark performance, identify opportunities, and advance quality improvement across the field.
If you are a member of POSNA who is interested in joining SPP, the SQID initiative is for you. This collaboration is highly integrated into the established program, so no additional data entry is required! Simply let the program manager know that you are a POSNA member and you will automatically be tracked under this registry.
As a participant in the SPP, you'll receive a personalized, interactive dashboard that transforms your clinical data into meaningful performance insights. The dashboard compares your outcomes with those of peer surgeons using risk-adjusted benchmarking, ensuring fair comparisons based on patient complexity.
Track key quality metrics such as Operating Room Time, Estimated Blood Loss (EBL), and Length of Stay (LoH), review your performance trends over time, and identify individual cases that exceed, meet, or fall outside expected performance ranges. These actionable analytics help surgeons recognize strengths, identify opportunities for improvement, and support continuous quality improvement through objective, data-driven feedback.
The Surgeon Performance Program AIS QI Registry has been approved by the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery (ABOS) Maintenance of Certification (MOC) committee as an alternate choice for earning self-assessment examination (SAE) credits for the Board’s MOC process.
This approval allows a diplomat to receive 10 SAE credits for each year of registry participation that may be counted as an alternative to 10 scored and recorded SAE credits in satisfying the ABOS MOC requirements. Visit the ABOS website for more information.
