Registries for Evaluating Patient Outcomes: A User's Guide, 3rd Edition

Research Report Feb 21, 2012

Page Contents

Background

The AHRQ publication "Registries for Evaluating Patient Outcomes: A User's Guide" (PDF, 1.2 MB) was published in 2007 by AHRQ as a reference handbook with practical information on the design, operation, and analysis of patient registries. In 2010, the User's Guide was updated with a focus on collecting information to assess patient outcomes.

This third edition (PDF, 2.1 MB) expands the User's Guide to address 11 new topics in registry methodology and update the existing chapters to cover new legislation and other changes in registry science. It also includes real-world contemporary case examples to illustrate key principles of registry design, operation, and evaluation and to demonstrate different strategies and perspectives to address common challenges. Addendums were added in 2018 and 2019 to address contemporary issues in patient registries.
