The Spine Institute for Quality (Spine IQ) operates in the hospitals and health care sector as a private, not-for-profit organization focused on improving spine care. Its mission centers on defining quality and demonstrating value in spine care delivery by leveraging clinical data registries to identify clinicians who employ best practices in conservative spine care management, and by making that information accessible to patients and stakeholders. The organization aims to support ongoing quality improvement in conservative spine care through a data-driven approach that prioritizes outcomes important to patients and informs spine care policy development. Based in Davenport, Iowa, Spine IQ has positioned itself within the spine care ecosystem by aligning its data registry with national payment initiatives, including CMS priorities, and by partnering with professional groups to promote participation in conservative spine care registries. A notable contemporary development is its collaboration with the American Chiropractic Association to encourage chiropractors to participate in its Conservative Spine Care Registry. The institute operates with a small team and thus emphasizes collaborative, registry-based contributions to spine care quality.
