Nevada Prosthetics has joined the National Quality Limb Loss & Preservation Registry (LLPR).
The goal of the LLPR is to generate knowledge about which advances and treatments impact the care of individuals with limb loss and limb difference. The LLPR will collect universal data elements and link hospital-, provider-, and patient-reported outcomes over time. The registry will strive to alleviate significant data gaps, increase access to care, and improve care models related to prosthetics and limb preservation in the United States.
“The Limb Loss & Preservation Registry is critical for the future of patient care, advances in technology, and a range of other sustainable efforts in the field of prosthetics,” said Michelle Peluaga, CP, Nevada Prosthetics. “The current data gap is considerable, and, in some cases, available statistics are over two decades old, and longitudinal data has never been collected.”
The registry was born out of a federal contract awarded to the Mayo Clinic via the National Institutes of Health and Department of Defense. It is currently enrolling O&P providers and hospital systems and will be transitioning to further operate within a nonprofit parent organization to be named later this year.
