2. Using Audit Tools to Maintain Data Quality for ACC/NCDR PCI Registry Abstraction

Pdf Summary

The document discusses the use of a data audit tool in maintaining data quality for the ACC/NCDR PCI Registry Abstraction. The tool is used to audit internal registry abstraction for various data elements related to stress tests, diagnostic catheterization, and PCI data. It is currently being used in 20 hospital systems to provide abstraction and audit services. The scientific problem being investigated is the accuracy and reliability of data abstraction performed by abstractors in a healthcare system, with the goal of enhancing the accuracy of the registry. The Covid pandemic has caused a staffing issue and backlog of abstraction services. The data audit tool has been found to have high reliability and accuracy (over 95%) in the PCI registry and is now being used in 16 registries. The quality of the data is important for making informed decisions regarding resource allocation and healthcare equity, as well as influencing healthcare decisions at both macro and patient levels. The tool is being used by surgical societies and across hospital systems, enabling external assessment of abstractors and including all data dictionary fields for each registry. Cardiac registries, such as the ACC Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Registry, require high-quality data abstraction. The audit tool is a Software as a Service (SaaS) based SQL tool that compares abstractor results with an external third party for validation.
