NCDR provides registry database specifications to software vendors who are interested in developing a CathPCI Registry software package. NCDR reviews each software application to verify it meets the strict data collection standards and export requirements as defined by NCDR, and certifies only those software vendors that meet its rigorous quality standards. These contracted, certified vendors are the exclusive providers of software that allows institutions to participate in the CathPCI Registry.
When a CathPCI Registry participant purchases software from a certified vendor, the vendor installs it for the participant. The participating facility then uses that software to submit its data to the NCDR on a quarterly basis. Many of the vendors’ software application do much more than collect and export CathPCI Registry data. For this reason, each participant should consider their own software requirements when reviewing the vendor information.
However, participants of the CathPCI Registry may instead choose free access to the NCDR Web-based data collection tool for this registry. Use of this tool, and any updated version, does not involve using a software vendor, and will help hospitals collect the most essential data for internal reporting.
Applications for CathPCI Registry vendor certification:
The NCDR is accepting application for new CathPCI Registry vendors for version 4.0. If you are interested in becoming a certified software vendor, please contact
ncdr@acc.org or call 1-800-257-4737
As an aid to our participants, the NCDR has provided a brief description of each vendor in the chart below, as well as a summary of their product information. This information, listed in alphabetical order, has been supplied by the software vendor and has NOT been verified.

AMICAS, Inc. (formerly Emageon) provides a single application for the management and reporting of data from echocardiography, vascular ultrasound, nuclear medicine, and the cath lab. The AMICAS solution includes cardiac PACS, hemodynamics, Web-based clinical reporting, pediatric echocardiography, 4D echo tools, ECG management, and CathPCI NCDR-ACC registry reporting tools.
In July 2009, AMICAS received official certification from the ACC-NCDR for the AMICAS VERICIS Registry Reporting Application, per the new Version 4 coding requirements. Offered as an option to the VERICIS Image and Information Management System, this Cath-PCI Registry application features a new, easy-to-navigate user interface, on-screen help, new interactive deficiency reports, and intuitive data grouping to meet the ACC guidelines. This Web-deployed application leverages the latest .NET technology, which makes it available to any PC on the VERICIS network. Most importantly, from a workflow perspective, data flows seamlessly from both the AMICAS Hemodynamics system and from the Web-based physician-structured reporting module, which results in an automated pre-population of the ACC Registry data for each patient.

Conceived in the early 1970s by a renowned cardiac physician, and commercialized in 1980, PATS® has endured as both the industry pioneer and frontrunner in outcomes data management technology. It is one of very few applications to have lived through multiple generations of operating systems and programming languages, and proven its capacity to adopt continuous improvement and advancement.
The PATS® open framework allows healthcare organizations to customize the ACC-NCDR® CathPCI Registry with as many additional data fields as they desire. Users may also design, configure and maintain an unlimited number of other separate and discrete registries (such as AMI, cardiac rehabilitation, CHF, coronary thrombosis, electrophysiology, PCI, pacemaker, angioplasty and echocardiography). There are no restrictions, no pre-requisites.
PATS® offers the most robust and sophisticated feature set for mining, analysis and reporting of outcomes data, bar none. In a matter of seconds, with a few simple point-and-click maneuvers, PATS® can process tens of thousands of records, render the results of complex permutations, and produce customized output depicting virtually anything you desire. Data values displayed in tabular format are easily converted, with one click, to graphical format, and may be copied and pasted to a Microsoft Office or other software program for presentation.
In addition to cardiology, PATS® has been adopted enterprise-wide, across nearly every area of specialty. It is also considered a tool of the trade for Quality Management and Performance Improvement departments.
