International Collaboration of Breast Registry Activities (ICOBRATM)
The Australian Breast Device Registry design conforms to international best practice for clinical quality registries. It has become the template for several other collaborating countries through the International Collaboration of Breast Registry Activities (ICOBRATM).
ICOBRATM was developed to establish an internationally agreed and comparable minimum data set, made up of standardised and epidemiologically sound data that reflect global best practice. Contributing countries and organisations consist of national plastic and reconstructive surgery societies, national health services and national health regulatory agencies. At the heart of the ICOBRATM concept is the core ethic and commitment to improving patient outcomes.
