Introduction to NCDR Inpatient Registry Overviews

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video provides an overview of the IMPACT Registry, developed by Betsy Weimer and narrated by Kate Malish. The purpose of the registry is to improve patient care by promoting quality improvement at participating institutions. It aims to assess the prevalence, demographics, management, and outcomes of patients undergoing diagnostic catheterization and catheter-based interventions for congenital heart disease (CHD). CHD is the most common birth defect, affecting both children and adults. The registry collects nationwide data to facilitate performance measurement, benchmarking, and quality improvement for hospitals caring for CHD patients. It also addresses the need for data on outcomes and procedural variability in catheter-based interventions. The inclusion criteria and procedures covered by the registry are explained, and the significance of the registry in informing clinical practice, guideline development, and research initiatives is emphasized. The IMPACT Registry is governed by a steering committee that provides oversight and direction. The video concludes with a call to participate in the registry.
