Why is there an annual subscription fee to participate in the program?
The annual subscription fee paid by participating sites helps to support the costs of hosting and verifying the registry data by an external service provider, and ensures the sustainability of the program. The yearly fee is not intended to be an obstacle for any hospital interested in implementing Own the Bone and the AOA is active in helping sites to find solutions so that they can use the program.
