The ICD RegistryTM is an outcomes-based, national quality improvement program that helps participating facilities measure and improve care for patients receiving implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs). It is one of a growing suite of cardiovascular data registries under the auspices of NCDR®, the largest, most comprehensive cardiovascular patient data repository in the U.S.
By participating in the ICD Registry, enrolled hospitals can measure their performance in diagnosing and treating their ICD recipients against national benchmarks.
The ICD Registry collects a comprehensive set of data elements that provides health care professionals and their facilities with the information they need to monitor and improve adherence to the most current, science-based ACC/AHA/HRS treatment guidelines. Participation greatly facilitates quality improvement efforts, optimizes clinical care, and improves outcomes for this patient set.
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
- Complimentary access to Cardiosource®, the most authoritative and comprehensive online resource in cardiovascular medicine
- 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
