  • Be sure to use the #NCDR hashtag and/or mention ACC’s accounts so ACC social media staff help spread the word and like and/or reshare you post:
  • The NCDR registry your facility participates in (i.e., Chest Pain – MI Registry, AFib Ablation Registry, CathPCI Registry, EP Device Implant Registry, IMPACT Registry, LAAO Registry, or STS/ACC TVT Registry). 
  • Hashtags: Include #NCDR, the hashtag for the appropriate registry, as well as relevant clinical hashtags based on each registry. See the full list of hashtags here.
  • Tag the ACC: Be sure to tag the ACC’s social media accounts. (Use @ACCinTouch for Twitter, @American College of Cardiology for LinkedIn and @AmericanCollegeofCardiology for Facebook.) 
  • Link: If your facility has posted a press release or news story on your participation, include the link. Sample press releases, as well as sample newsletter articles for staff and patients, are available in the QII Participation Promotion Kit.
