Abstract
The CAPER Registry is a voluntary, national safety reporting program that gathers patients’ adverse events encountered during dermatologic procedures. This registry is intended as an aid for practitioners, patients, industry, and government regulators, and aims to facilitate safety monitoring for the specialty by identifying resource, process, education, and other systemic gaps associated with adverse events, as well as any potential risk factors for adverse events. CAPER will provide new or corroborating information to help dermatologists improve clinical practices, improve safety and effectiveness, and treat and prevent adverse events. The data generated will also help industry partners and regulatory bodies prevent adverse events from going unnoticed.
