Join the established network for comprehensive AMI care
For more than a decade, the Chest Pain - MI Registry™ has been the single, most trusted source for outcomes-based, continuous quality improvement and remains the go-to registry for hospitals and health systems applying American College of Cardiology (ACC) and American Heart Association (AHA) clinical guideline recommendations. With expanded data capture and flexibility, you can customize your use of the registry to meet your needs!
Being a part of this collaborative network offers the opportunity to submit only STEMI patients or now include low-risk and unstable angina patients to help you recognize how to reduce variations and deliver guideline care.
In addition, the registry fully supports the data requirements for ACC's Chest Pain Center Accreditation and ACC's Chest Pain Center Certification program and offers a streamlined approach to achieve your accreditation.
