ACC Public Reporting
Lead with Transparency. Lead with Quality.
Providing transparent, meaningful information about quality and outcomes allows facilities to highlight their strengths and stand out in a competitive landscape. ACC Public Reporting gives hospitals the opportunity to demonstrate their commitment to accountability, continuous improvement and high-quality cardiovascular care by voluntarily sharing performance data from select NCDR registries.
Why Participate?
ACC Public Reporting gives cardiovascular programs a powerful way to showcase clinical excellence, strengthen their brand, and build trust with patients.
Eligible Public Reporting Programs and Measures
Facilities participating in the following NCDR registries may elect to participate in ACC Public Reporting. Select a registry to view the measures available for public reporting.
- Proportion of PCI Patients With Aspirin Prescribed at Discharge
- Proportion of PCI Patients (who Received a Stent) With a P2Y12 Inhibitor Prescribed at Discharge
- Proportion of PCI Patients With a Statin Prescribed at Discharge
- Proportion of PCI Patients With Aspirin, Statin and/or P2Y12 inhibitor (if Eligible) Prescribed at Discharge
- Quality of Care Composite: This is a weighted composite measure comprised of six component measures assessing mortality, bleeding, and acute kidney injury outcomes and guideline directed medical therapy, referral to cardiac rehabilitation, and PCI performed within 90 minutes for patients with acute myocardial infarctions
- Proportion of ICD/CRT-D implant patients with left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD), who were prescribed ACE-I or ARB or ARNI therapy, as eligible, at discharge.
- Proportion of ICD/CRT-D implant patients with a prior MI who were prescribed beta-blocker therapy, as eligible, at discharge.
- Proportion of ICD/CRT-D implant patients with left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD) who were prescribed beta-blocker therapy, as eligible, at discharge.
- Composite: Proportion of ICD/CRT-D implant patients prescribed all discharge medications (ACE-I/ARB/ARNI and beta-blocker) for which they were eligible.
- Quality of Care Composite: Overall ranking of care, which is calculated using a statistical model with data from metrics 1546 (Composite: Proportion of ICD/CRT-D implant patients prescribed all discharge medications (ACE-I/ARB/ARNI and beta-blocker) for which they were eligible) and 2055 (Proportion of ICD/CRT-D patients that fulfill class I, IIa, or IIb guideline indications).
- STEMI Performance Composite
- Overall Defect Free Care Composite*
