The sports medicine community gathers once a year in a room where the conversation moves fast — new research, evolving care models, and the ongoing question of how to measure what actually matters for patients. This year, that room is in Seattle. PatientIQ will be at the AOSSM Annual Meeting 2026, July 8–11 at the Seattle Convention Center — stop by booth 1037 to find us.
The pressure to demonstrate clinical value has never been cleaner or more quantifiable than it is right now. Payers want it. Patients expect it. Registries need it. And the surgeons who can show longitudinal outcomes data — not just snapshots from a single visit — are the ones shaping how sports medicine evolves as a specialty.
The challenge isn't interest. Most sports medicine programs want to measure outcomes. The challenge is operationalizing it without creating work for already stretched clinical teams.
PatientIQ is an outcomes intelligence platform built on the belief that measuring patient outcomes should fit inside existing clinical workflows — not sit outside them. Our platform integrates directly with 50+ EHR systems, automates patient engagement across the care continuum, and delivers the data clinicians and administrators need to improve care, satisfy reporting requirements, and support research.
We've collected 50M+ patient outcomes across 850+ healthcare organizations. More than 6,500 orthopedic surgeons on the platform represent over 25% of U.S. orthopedic surgery volume. That network is the infrastructure that makes benchmarking, registry participation, and multi-site research possible without rebuilding the wheel at every institution.
We're also at AOSSM alongside our marketplace partner Breg. Together, PatientIQ and Breg connect outcomes data with the orthopedic bracing and rehabilitation workflow — giving care teams a more complete picture of how patients are progressing after surgery.
AOSSM brings together the clinicians who are thinking hardest about how sports medicine outcomes data gets collected, used, and shared. We're looking forward to conversations about what outcomes measurement looks like in high-volume sports medicine practices, how automated PRO collection changes the research equation, and what it takes to turn outcomes data into something that actually informs clinical decisions rather than just satisfying a reporting checkbox.
If any of those questions are on your mind heading into the meeting, we'd welcome the conversation.
The AOSSM Annual Meeting runs July 8–11 at the Seattle Convention Center. Stop by booth 1037 to meet the PatientIQ team, see the platform in action, and talk through what outcomes measurement could look like for your program or organization.
