The Academy's membership has long indicated the need for data to prove their value within the healthcare system. Also, to support the BOLD strategic initiatives, data is required to support the advancement of the specialty. This session will focus on the design, build, and data capture for low back pain and ischemic stroke. As a major Academy/specialty initiative, presenting at AA is an opportunity to share learnings with a broader physiatry audience will become targets for registry participation as the Registry Steering Committee scales its efforts.

The data collected in the registry is designed to address gaps in quality care not being addressed through other national initiatives.
