ASPS R EGISTRIES An outline of our outcomes data member benefit. Putting Patient Care First PlasticSurgery.org/TOPS The Tracking Operations and Outcomes for Plastic Surgeons (TOPS) program is a national database of plastic surgery procedures and outcomes sponsored by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS). Initially launched in 2002, the TOPS registry is designed to provide ASPS member plastic surgeons with a mechanism to track demographic, procedural, and outcomes information to help physicians benchmark and evaluate their practice. The registry is free to use and offers an electronic data capture interface to collect common demographic, risk factor, procedural and 30-day outcome data elements, which allow registry users to evaluate outcomes based on patient comorbidities and risk factors and track the rate and type of surgical incidences that could occur postoperatively. It is a HIPAA compliant, secure and confidential national database of plastic surgery procedures and outcomes. TOPS is an integral part of American Society of Plastic Surgeons’ efforts and is part of the organization’s key initiatives, including the development of evidence-based practice parameters, monitoring clinical outcomes and emerging trends, supporting research and educational programs, and the compilation of the National Clearinghouse of Plastic Surgery Statistics. uuOne million procedures and counting 21 ASPS Patient Safety Credits uuOffers uu300 - 400 ASPS member monthly users PA G E 1 9
