Information | The purpose of the Australian Orthopaedic Association National Joint Replacement Registry (AOANJRR) is to improve and maintain the quality of care for individuals receiving joint replacement surgery. Information on hip, knee, shoulder, elbow, wrist, ankle and spinal disc replacement is collected from all hospitals in Australia undertaking joint replacement surgery. Aims of the AOANJRR:
All hospitals in Australia that undertake joint replacement have agreed to submit data. Currently the Registry receives information on over 7,000 procedures per month from over 300 hospitals. The AOANJRR was first declared a Quality Assurance Activity (QAA) in 1999. The protection provided by the declaration assures patients, surgeons, hospitals and government that information supplied to the AOANJRR remains confidential and secure. |
