Literature review and case example. ⋯ Prospective, longitudinal, patient-reported outcomes registries are powerful tools that allow measurement of cost, safety, effectiveness, and health care value across clinically meaningful episodes of care. Registries entirely based on claims or billing data, safety measures alone, process measures, or other proxies of outcome offer valuable insights, but do not provide comprehensive data to drive patient-centered value-based reform. As more spine-focused registries emerge and their integration into the US health care delivery evolve, the evidence to power value-based reform will be enabled.
