Video Summary

The video transcript discusses the upcoming launch of the Impact Registry Version 3.0 for pediatric cardiology, scheduled for April. Joan Michaels, a nurse and longtime contributor, introduces the registry as a comprehensive, updated tool combining three modules: Interventional Cardiology, Electrophysiology (EP) Ablation, and Device tracking, offering a "one-stop shop" for data collection. The new version aims to reduce data redundancy, increase clinical relevance, and improve usability with logic-driven pathways tailored to specific procedures.<br /><br />Key updates include streamlined data entry, clearer definitions for concurrent conditions, and patient data that carries forward over time to enhance accuracy and reduce workload. The interventional module is improved with clearer operator roles and updated procedural criteria. The EP module, developed in partnership with the Pediatric and Congenital EP Society (PACES), addresses prior limitations by distinguishing cases with and without ablation and focusing on precise procedural outcomes tied to arrhythmia substrates.<br /><br />A novel device module captures comprehensive device histories, including pacemakers, ICDs, and loop recorders, critical for managing complex pediatric patients. The registry integrates Power BI dashboards to facilitate data visualization and quality improvement efforts. Stakeholders are encouraged to beta test and provide feedback ahead of the official rollout. Overall, Version 3.0 represents a long-anticipated, clinically relevant, and user-friendly upgrade designed to support better patient outcomes and research in pediatric and congenital cardiology.
