Percutaneous Coronary Intervention |
The University of Michigan does not participate in the ACC-NCDR because our division of Cardiology is leading a statewide quality improvement program for PTCA with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan. This program includes submission of clinical data to a statewide registry. Each participating hospital receives detailed quarterly reports of clinical, procedure and risk-adjusted outcomes which are used to initiate quality improvement interventions.
