ACC - NCDR: American College of Cardiology - National Cardiovascular Data Registry

The National Cardiovascular Data Registry is a voluntary system which allows a hospital to contribute detailed clinical data collected from patient medical records according to common definitions in order to identify opportunities for improvement.

“NCDR® is the recognized resource for measuring and quantifying outcomes and identifying gaps in the delivery of quality cardiovascular patient care in the United States. Its mission is to improve the quality of cardiovascular patient care by providing information, knowledge and tools, implementing quality initiatives; and supporting research that improves patient care and outcomes.”
