I began my career as a bedside nurse in the 1990s. I remember one occasion when a doctor, frustrated by our inability to get medical registry data in a timely manner, said, “I could have made changes if I had that information sooner. I’ve had 200 people on my operating room table during this time.” Clinicians have long used data from medical registries to improve care delivery.

I have been in health care and worked as a bedside nurse for more than 30 years now. Early in my career a surgeon said to me, “I could have made changes if I had that information sooner. I’ve had 200 people on my operating room table during this time.”The surgeon was referring to critical data within medical registries, which are used by clinicians to improve care delivery.
