Video Summary

The video provides an educational overview of the CATH PCI Registry, narrated by Cornelia Anderson. The registry aims to assess the characteristics, treatments, and outcomes of patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) who undergo cardiac catheterization procedures. Participating hospitals submit patient-level data on a quarterly basis to receive feedback and improve patient outcomes. Registry reports offer metrics for internal process and quality improvement, as well as comparative effectiveness research opportunities. The registry, launched in 1998, has the participation of 98% of the market share of CATH labs and includes over 13 million diagnostic and 9 million PCI records. It serves as a surveillance tool, supports quality improvement, and is used by stakeholders, healthcare systems, states, and payers. Registry data also support research initiatives, inform clinical practice and guideline development, and can be used for accreditation and public reporting purposes. The steering committee oversees the registry and provides guidance and recommendations to the NCDR Management Board.
