| Certified NCDR® Software Vendors
|
|
The chart below lists vendors who offer certified NCDR software for one or more of the following registries: ACTION Registry®–GWTGTM, CathPCI Registry®, CARE Registry® , ICD RegistryTM and IMPACT Registry™. A brief description of each certified vendor, their Web site address and a summary of their product, can be found at the bottom of the page.
Software purchased by a registry participant is installed by a certified vendor based on the needs of each facility. Certified software allows the participating facility to submit data to the NCDR on a quarterly basis, and in some cases, can be integrated into existing hospital systems. As a result, many software applications do much more than collect and export registry data. For this reason, each participant should consider their own software requirements when reviewing the vendor information. We encourage you to talk with the appropriate vendors to determine which software best meets your facility’s needs.
Participants of ACTION Registry–GWTG, CathPCI Registry, CARE Registry , ICD Registry or IMPACT Registry™may instead choose to use a complimentary Web-based data collection tool provided by the NCDR. Use of this tool, and any updated version, does not involve using a software vendor, and will allow hospitals to collect the most essential data for internal reporting. For information about this option, please contact the NCDR Service Center at (800) 257-4737 or ncdr@acc.org.
For vendors:
NCDR will provide registry database specifications to software vendors who are interested in developing an NCDR registry software package. NCDR reviews each software application to verify that 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 NCDR registries.
Applications for registry vendor certification:
If you are interested in becoming a certified NCDR software vendor, please contact the NCDR at (800) 257-4737 or ncdr@acc.org.
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.

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.
