Research and registries

SIR Foundation's registries

Collecting standardized data to improve clinical care 

Clinical registries are organized systems that store standardized data on a specific population defined by a disease, condition or procedure. Information from clinical data registries can be used to evaluate specific outcomes and compare the effectiveness of different treatments. Furthermore, they are used to improve the quality of care and patient safety.

The Clinical Research and Registries Division strongly encourages registry endeavors for the purposes of advancing scientific knowledge and developing innovative therapies that lead to improved patient care in IR. Previous registry stakeholders include government agencies, industry manufacturers and other professional societies.
