The Comprehensive Outcomes in Orthopaedics and Rehabilitation Data System (COORDS) was formed in the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery as part of the Practice Transformation Unit (PTU) to modernize routine clinical data collection while streamlining access to actionable data.
What is COORDS?
COORDS collaborated with clinicians, Duke Health Technology Solutions (DHTS), and the Analytic Center of Excellence (ACE) to develop a robust internal solution tailored to the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery's patient-reported outcome (PRO) and data needs.
Mission and Vision
Our mission is to create a learning health system supported by a data infrastructure to optimize patient-centered, data-driven, and value-based clinical decision-making.
Our vision is to:
-
Establish standardized patient-reported outcome (PRO) collection across all Department of Orthopaedic Surgery divisions, ensuring consistency and comprehensive data coverage.
-
Seamlessly integrate data capture within routine clinical encounters and beyond by leveraging innovative approaches through the electronic medical record (EMR).
-
Build a robust data infrastructure to support key quality improvement initiatives and enable impactful clinical research projects.
-
Develop advanced clinical decision-support tools to enhance the quality and precision of patient care while implementing an operational learning health system.
-
Create and deliver meaningful, timely visualizations and data interfaces highly valued by clinical stakeholders. This will drive informed decision-making and improve overall outcomes.
