Aotearoa New Zealand All Cardiology Services Quality Improvement (Registry).
An advanced, web-based registry system to support data capture for acute coronary syndrome (ACS) management in secondary care after a patient has experienced an ACS event. The Registry collects standardised data from all ACS and Cathlab centres in New Zealand, allowing for benchmarking of services provided and detailed quality improvement to be performed.
In some settings this service also provides detailed electronic clinical decision support (Acute Predict [CVD-Diabetes]) into the secondary care wards to aid with the preparation of consistent pre-discharge treatment plans. Where this is used it assists with clinical KPI reporting for in-ward treatment delivery.
