FILE LAYOUT WALKTHROUGH
File Layout & Unique Identifiers

- data assigned to procedure location
• File layout is updated to a ‘column’ vs. ‘row’ format
- For procedure and diagnosis codes, up to 10 codes
per patient/case record are supported
- For components, up to 20 per patient/case record
are supported
LEVEL I • Additional/modified data elements:
• Triggering code lists for ICD-10, ICD-9 (for
retrospective) and CPT (for outpatient)
- ‘Discharge Disposition Code’
- ‘Length of Stay’
- ‘BMI’
- ‘Height’
- ‘Weight’
- ‘Surgical Approach’
- ‘Surgical Technique’

procedure and/or during the inpatient stay
• Post-operative complications occurring
within 90 days of the initial procedure are also
requested (re-admission)
• Triggering codes for related ICD-10-CM (and
ICD-9-CM for retrospective submission)
Institution may choose to extract and submit all codes for the
patient/procedure and AJRR will complete the trigger code
mapping
LEVEL III
• Patient Reported Outcome (PRO) responses
for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid’s
(CMS) Comprehensive Care for Joint
Replacement (CJR) model mandated
instruments are now included
• Responses for CJR Patient Risk Questions (3)
now included
• Question responses for the full HOOS/KOOS
instruments are now included

your reference
Accurate component information is critical to
realizing our mission!

Provide access to data submitted and uploaded to the Registry via the
following tools:
a. User Interface: Search & View Patient Demographics and Case
Information
b. Pre-Defined Queries: Search &View Patient and Case Information
c. AJRR Dashboards: Search and View National Benchmarks
System Purpose
The Registry platform supports TWO primary use cases:
Provide the ability to administer pre and post-operative PROM
Assessment surveys to patients
a. Create Clinician/Surgeon Accounts
b. Create Patient/Case Pre-Registration Records (for the purpose of
administering Pre-Operative PROMs)
c. Facilitate PRO Data Collection & Storage
i. Patient Kiosk
ii. Paper or Phone Collection w/Administrative Data Entry
d. Review Patient/Case PRO Status and Trigger Reminders
e. View Patient/Case PRO Results
1.
2.
Manual data entry of detailed Patient/Case Records
- The Registry user interface is NOT designed to function as an
EMR/EHR
- Your detailed actual patient/case data must be extracted from
your source systems and submitted to the Registry via the defined
data submission process and the most current Registry data
specifications

What Type of Access is Granted?This user role provides access to ALL data (Level I, II & III) submitted to
the Registry on behalf of the subscribing institution(s) via the Registry system
platform. This includes access to view reports and the national
dashboards to view benchmark reports. A signed Authorized User form is
required to name the individual user and the associated institution(s) for
which they are authorized to access and view data.
This user role provides access to the Registry system platform for the
purposes of enabling a subscribing institution(s) to use the Registry system
platform for PRO DATA COLLECTION. [Note: this role is NOT needed if the
institution is using another technology product or other process for PRO data
collection and are submitting data to the Registry via the SFTP file upload
process]. This role will allow the user to create multiple Surgeon/Clinician
users to support the PRO data collection process using the Registry system
platform. A signed PRO Onboarding form is required to establish the institution
profile and the individual user that will be assigned the PROM Administrator role;
this form also indicates all of the associated institution(s) for which they are
authorized to manage and administer PRO data collection.
This user role provides access to create patient records and access the
survey management functions of the Registry system platform to facilitate
dissemination of PROMs instruments and view associated responses and/or
status of assessment assignment, progress and/or completion. The PROMs
Administrator will create these roles and assign the data creation/access
permissions for specific institution(s).

A report is a real-time retrieval of pre-defined data elements from the
Registry database. Each report addresses a specific subject such as:
“Show me a listing of all patients submitted to the Registry that have
had a hip procedure”
“Show me a listing of each procedure submitted to the Registry with
the associated component information”
A dashboard is defined as a visual display of key information or metrics for “at
a glance” monitoring to support the analysis of data and to provide
actionable insights to improve or optimize performance. The Registry system
dashboards provide aggregate, de-identified views into the data at varying
levels of categories and access described in the subsequent sections. The
data is refreshed regularly as new data is submitted and uploaded to the Registry.
