Video Summary

The NCDR registries are designed by clinicians and healthcare professionals to improve cardiovascular care and heart health. The registries provide valuable clinical information that helps hospitals assess their performance and identify areas for improvement. The NCDR has a vast repository of clinical data that can be used to answer complex questions related to patient outcomes, treatment trends, and guideline adherence. Participating facilities can access an online dashboard to compare their performance to metric benchmarks and identify gaps. The goal is to use the results to drive quality improvement programs and ultimately transform cardiovascular care.
