The clinical practice of neurology generates an enormous amount of data. Current data entry tools and reporting requirements are inefficient and frustrating. This comprehensive review of data collection in multiple domains of clinical practice includes billing and payment requirements, electronic health record documentation requirements, quality measurements, public reporting, and the evolution of clinical decision support. Quality measurements are increasingly affecting patient care and physician reimbursement. By understanding current data collection and by using appropriate tools, neurologists can begin to reduce the burden of data collection and ensure maximum reimbursement. The American Academy of Neurology's Axon registry is the next step in the evolution of clinical data collection and will begin to empower every neurologist to succeed in the shifting landscape of health care and physician payment reform.
