SOS™ Global Registry for Patients

What is the Surgical Outcomes System (SOS) global registry?

The SOS global registry is a web-based tool for your surgeon to remotely monitor your pain, function, and well-being after treatment. Completing SOS surveys provides valuable data to your physician that confirms your treatment is successful and meets or exceeds pretreatment expectations. If there is a deviation from expected recovery, the SOS registry notifies your surgeon immediately for further follow-up.

Why the SOS global registry?

The SOS global registry provides your surgeon with real-time, web-based information on your posttreatment progress, even between your scheduled follow-up visits.

Why is it important that I complete the surveys in a timely manner?

It is important that you complete SOS surveys in a timely manner so your surgeon can accurately monitor posttreatment progression to normal daily living. Your information is only available to your surgeon and their staff who collect and care for your data. Additionally, your outcomes will be combined with other patients' outcomes to create a deidentified global registry that may benefit future patients and their surgeons. Deidentified means that patient identifiers collected (email address or medical record number in SOS) are not visible to any person or party other than your surgeon and their staff who collect and care for your data.

Ask your surgeon about enrolling in the SOS global registry, which may benefit future patients who need treatments like you!
