IMPACT Registry

The American College of Cardiology Foundation's NCDR is developing a new, national clinical data registry. The IMPACT Registry (IMproving Pediatric and Adult Congenital Treatment) will assess the prevalence, demographics, management and outcomes of pediatric and adult patients with congenital heart disease who are undergoing diagnostic catheterizations and catheter-based interventions. The collection and analysis of this data will facilitate performance measurement, benchmarking, and quality improvement initiatives. The IMPACT Registry will provide significant contributions to the knowledge base and outcomes associated with congenital heart disease. To date, no single registry has collected sufficient national quality-focused data on the management and real-world outcomes of quality-focused data of patients who undergo diagnostic and interventional catheterizations
