What are the benefits of participating in a PCI registry?
The benefits of participating in a PCI registry include the ability to compare the catheterization laboratory's outcomes with those of similar laboratories of comparable volumes, so that the laboratory staff understands their outcomes in relation to national or regional standards. Participating in a registry also provides the ability to benchmark performance against other laboratories and identify areas of improvement, as well as the opportunity to participate in large multicenter databases and collaboratives to improve the evidence base to support quality efforts in PCI.
