Video Summary

The American College of Cardiology (ACC) is dedicated to providing clinicians, hospitals, health systems, and other stakeholders with the tools and best practices for achieving quality care. The National Cardiovascular Data Registry (NCDR) and ACC accreditation services play a crucial role in driving quality improvement efforts. NCDR is a gold standard registry for quality assessment and improvement in clinical care delivery, providing data that informs current practice and opportunities for improvement. Accreditation is another element of continuous quality improvement, helping to optimize processes of care and ensure patient outcomes are as optimal as possible. Both NCDR and accreditation combine evidence-based science, quality initiatives, clinical guidelines, and best practices to reduce variations in care. The ACC's vision is to optimize patient care through science, knowledge, and innovation, and the NCDR registry and accreditation services are tools meant to advance this goal in the field of cardiology. The panelists in the video discuss the importance of education and training for new abstractors, the challenges of working in silos and the importance of communication and collaboration, and the value of registry data in demonstrating the quality of care provided to patients. They emphasize the need to communicate with leadership, showcase the value of registries, and use data to drive improvements in patient care. Overall, the video highlights the ACC's commitment to improving the quality of care in cardiology through the use of registry data and accreditation services.
