    To quality-conscious physicians like you, the NCDR® ICD Registry™ is more than the CMS-mandated data repository for implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) procedures. The 78 percent of participating hospitals that report data on all implantations—regardless of payer or indication—have made the registry a powerful quality benchmarking tool for any facility involved in ICD implantation, upgrade, or replacement.

    The ICD Registry recently expanded its capabilities to

    • Capture atrial, ventricular, defibrillator, and left-heart lead data at time of implant, revision, replacement, or surgical abandonment


    • Monitor and report pediatric ICD implantation data to expand the knowledge base for an important patient population with unique needs at implantation


    • ICD/CRT-D generators for primary and secondary prevention


    • Update key quality indicators and align its data set more closely with current guidelines

    Access the ICD Registry’s expanded performance data and discover new answers to empower your treatment decisions.

    Participation in the ICD Registry provides:

    • Quarterly benchmark reports that compare your institution’s performance with that of volume-based peer groups and the national experience


    • Standardized, evidence-based data elements and definitions


    • A complimentary online data collection tool; or a variety of certified third-party vendor software options


    • Plus, ABIM Diplomates can meet MOC recertification requirements by using ICD Registry data to earn up to 80 points toward evaluation of practice performance through the self-directed PIM

    The ICD Registry measures:

    • Patient demographics, provider and facility characteristics


    • Device type and characteristics


    • Adverse event rates


    • Compliance with ACC/AHA/HRS Clinical Guidelines recommendations, and more
