Video Summary

In this video, Barb Christensen discusses the changes and updates for the National Cardiovascular Data Registry (NCDR) and accreditation services. The NCDR Optimization Plan aims to maintain the NCDR as a leading clinical science and quality institution by focusing on innovation, accelerating development, and addressing the data collection burden. The optimization effort focuses on being efficient, interactive, anticipatory, and integrated per value. The strategy includes reducing data collection burden, increasing value to stakeholders, promoting quality improvement, and supporting population health management. The plan was approved by the ACC's Board of Trustees.

Other topics covered include new certification programs for critical access hospitals and freestanding emergency departments, outpatient services designation for heart failure accreditation, CV services in ambulatory surgery centers, EP device implant registry, COVID-19 data collection, PCI Cost of Care Study Report, updates to the QII Learning Center, multi-factor authentication, and participant user experience survey.
