The American Spine Registry (ASR) is proud to acknowledge its founding sponsors, Medtronic and Globus/NuVasive. These esteemed organizations have played a crucial role in the establishment and ongoing support of the ASR. Their partnership has been instrumental in advancing the registry’s mission to enhance the quality of spine care through comprehensive data collection and analysis. Medtronic and Globus/NuVasive’s commitment to innovation and excellence in the field of spinal surgery has provided a strong foundation for the ASR, enabling it to become a leading resource for clinical data and research in spine care. Through their collaboration, the American Association of Neurological Surgeons and American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons aim to analyze clinical data from orthopaedic and neurological surgeons for the treatment of spine disorders, as we continue to strive for improved patient outcomes and the advancement of spinal health.
The Joint Commission announces the American Spine Registry as the only registry to qualify for its new Advanced Certification in Spine Surgery, providing an exciting data reuse opportunity for participants.

“This is a phenomenal achievement for the ASR collaboration. Neurosurgeons from around the country have helped develop and incorporate into the ASR meaningful measures of clinical outcomes and important insights related to clinical workflows. As such, the positioning of ASR as a central requirement for the Joint Commission’s Advanced Certification in Spine Care program ensures that your institution’s participation in this effort will be both relevant and impactful. This unique partnership is bound to accelerate adoption of this registry platform, as institutions will now be motivated to participate in the ASR to gain certification as well as continuously improve the quality of spine care.”
