Force-TJR is the first U.S. total joint replacement (TJR) registry providing national norms and risk-adjusted data for hospitals and surgeons, aimed at guiding quality monitoring and improving patient care. The program offers a web-based platform compatible with electronic medical records and benchmarks data from over 25,000 TJR patients across various settings. It supports hospitals in meeting CMS reporting requirements and securing quality incentives through comprehensive outcome measures and performance comparisons.

FORCE-TJR QI TM
Quality. Value. Builds on lessons learned from research.
CMS is publicly reporting hospital-specific TJR readmission and complication rates on the Hospital Compare website. ARE YOU PREPARED FOR THE NEXT PUBLIC DATA RELEASE?
FORCE-TJR - The competitive edge FORCE-TJR QI, (Function and Outcomes Research for Comparative Effectiveness in Total Joint Replacement) is the first U.S. TJR registry to provide national norms and risk-adjusted data for hospitals and surgeons to guide quality monitoring in total joint replacement. Similar to STS and NSQCIP, FORCE-TJR QI measures outcomes and adverse events, risk adjusts for co- morbidities, and provides comprehensive, comparative data to improve patient care, meet reporting requirements, compare performance to peer surgeons/institutions, secure quality incentive payments.
FORCE-TJR - The data to prove quality Risk-adjusted, national norms and comparative reports to document patient reported outcomes (PROs), readmission rates, adverse events, and implant survival (compared to national benchmarks). Data to answer: How do my patients compare to other patients/other sites on:
Pre-op risk factors; pre-TJR pain and function; risk-adjusted post-surgical pain and function? Data to receive incentives from CMS (PQRS) and other pay-for-performance programs. Implant performance reports based on US data.
FORCE-TJR - The tools to succeed State-of-the-art web-based platform - compatible with ANY electronic medical record. Collect valuable data without affecting patient flow or efficiency. Benchmark data collected from more than 25,000 diverse TJR patients in 22 states; high and low volume hospitals; 75% of surgeons are community-based. Proven methods to collect complete pre- and post-operative patient-reported outcomes (PROs), readmissions, and adverse events. Identifies adverse events and readmission/ER visits at non-surgical hospitals.
