Data collection for the NCDR™ Registries is confidential and HIPAA compliant.

 Data Entry Software
- CathPCI Registry™ participants are required to enter data into a certified NCDR™ software. Click here for a current list of certified vendors. Our certified software vendors offer a wide spectrum of functionality and features. We encourage you to talk with these vendors to determine which software best meets your facilities needs.
- Currently the NCDR™ offers a free online data collection tool for ICD Registry™ participants. The tool includes all of the data elements required to submit to the NCDR™. Plans are in place to release software specifications to software vendors later this year.
- Similar to the ICD Registry™ the CARE Registry™ offers a free online data entry tool too.

Data Quality Report
- Once data is collected it is submitted directly to the NCDR™ via our secure web. When the NCDR™ receives the data, it undergoes rigorous electronic quality checks and a confidential Data Quality Report (DQR) is immediately available on our web. The DQR informs the participant if their data passes completeness criteria to be included in the national averages. In the event data does not pass inclusion criteria participants can clean their data and resubmit as often as needed until it passes.

National On-site Audit Program
- An additional feature of the NCDR™’s commitment to quality data is our National On-site Audit Program. Annually, participants are randomly selected for an onsite audit. Following the audit each site receives a detailed report of their audit findings to assist with data collection improvements.
