An Unparalleled Focus on Quality Outcomes

Spine Surgery Quality Outcomes Registry | Principal Investigator: Dr. Kevin Foley

One cornerstone of our work is the Semmes Murphey spine surgery registry, one of the largest single-site longitudinal registries in the world.

Since 2012, more than 11,000 Semmes Murphey patients have been enrolled in the spine surgery registry, a long-term project to gain insights about surgical care and patient well-being. From following these patients, we know that Semmes Murphey patients consistently show better than average improvement in physical ability and quality of life at three-month, one-year, and subsequent follow-up intervals.

NVQI-QOD has accumulated over 20,000 neurointerventional and cerebrovascular surgical procedures with registry participants including many of the top medical centers in North America. Semmes Murphey joined NVQI-QOD in 2025. 

Participation in the NVQI-QOD enables physicians, surgeons, and hospitals to assess their incidence of technical efficacy, clinical outcomes, safety and complications, length of stay, and other critical metrics in comparison with national benchmarks for quality assurance and improvement.
