Nymbl Systems has partnered with the Limb Loss and Preservation Registry (LLPR) to make data collection and submission easier for O&P practices that participate in the effort. An automation within Nymbl’s software allows the transfer of LLPR-collected fields from practices to the database without any additional effort on a practitioner’s part.
How it Works
When an O&P practice using Nymbl Systems decides to participate with the LLPR, their first step is to contact the Nymbl Customer Support team. Then, Nymbl ‘flips a switch’ on their end and begins transmitting data from that practice to the LLPR data base. Users of Nymbl will be able to easily identify any fields transmitted to the LLPR from the business management platform; these fields are marked by a tooltip icon.
“The information is automatically sent as employees and practitioners go about their daily routines,” Josh Lau, CEO of Nymbl Systems, said. “It’s designed to be seamless and eliminate any barriers for practices who want to contribute to this incredibly important effort.”
Why it Matters
LLPR’s data hub is the first collaborative effort of its kind for hospitals and O&P practices. It’s goal is to combine data from these two resources to create “longitudinal care records for patients that were never before available”. It is mission-critical to get buy-in from the data contributors (hospitals and O&P practices).

However, these contributors face potential pragmatic challenges of adding more work to overwhelmed employee’s daily routines.
To achieve the goal of LLPR’s data hub – providing information that aids patients and practitioners in making the best decisions for a patient’s care – it’s important to make the contribution of data easy. More business management systems and electronic health records (EHR) systems are realizing the role they play in simplifying the tasks for CPO’s, CP’s, and CO’s alike.
“Seamless workflows are the goal that Nymbl is always working towards. If it’s not intuitive, we won’t push it out in our platform,” said Lau.
As the LLPR’s efforts continue to make advances in data collection and analysis, it’s up to more than the hospitals and individual O&P practices to contribute. For the longevity of the mission, it will be critical that business management systems and EHRs continue to make the transmission of data a seamless process.
