The American College of Cardiology is focused on the global community as represented in the college's mission to transform cardiovascular care and improve heart health and its vision, a world where innovation and knowledge optimize cardiovascular care and outcomes. In every aspect of the work we do at the American College of Cardiology, regardless of our role as an FACC member, AACC member, staff, or volunteers, we all work together with the same core values leading us and guiding us through our daily work. The ACC core values reflect a patient-centered focus as we strive to work together through teamwork and collaboration, and we maintain professionalism and excellence to ensure support of our mission and vision. The National Cardiovascular Data Registry is a very important part of the American College of Cardiology. To align with the ACC's overarching strategic directives, the NCDR developed an operational mission and vision based on evidence, patient care, and outcomes. The NCDR mission is to improve patient care and heart health through trusted, real-world evidence, and the vision is a world where NCDR advances patient care, outcomes, and value through knowledge and innovation.
