Angioplasty Quality Indicators
Data registry reporting of angioplasty outcomes
The Leapfrog Group has requested that all hospitals that perform angioplasty join the American College of Cardiology - National Cardiovascular Data Registry (NCDR) to report performance data (American Heart Journal, December 2003: 146(6); 932-934).
Does UVA report its angioplasty data to the American College of Cardiology (ACC) National Cardiovascular Data Registry (NCDR) Data Bank?
Yes. UVA has been actively involved in reporting outcomes data after cardiac catheterization and coronary intervention since 1999 and has used this data to benchmark against other institutions and to continually improve our performance. Our outcomes reflect this dedication to quality as we have one of the lowest PCI procedural mortalities despite caring for complex and high risk patients.
