The NCDR Chest Pain – MI Registry, as the go-to registry for facilities applying ACC/American Heart Association clinical guideline recommendations, provides real-time data for STEMI, NSTEMI, unstable angina, and low-risk chest pain patients, long incident of care tracking, risk-adjusted metrics for length of stay and post-acute care, patient-level emergency medical services data, and much more. Registry participation also supports the opportunity for national and local recognition with the Chest Pain – MI Registry Performance Achievement Awards program and a streamlined process for fulfilling either the Chest Pain Center Accreditation or Chest Pain Center Certification requirements.
