A registry is a requirement for an NCQA-recognized patient-centered medical home and essential for collecting the evidence-based data for other quality and care delivery programs. The registry also plays a major role in accountable care organizations (ACOs). ACOs are built upon the IHI's Triple AIM initiative, which mandates a whole population view.
Additionally, Dr. Gregory Spencer, chief medical officer of Crystal Run Healthcare, provides details on:
-
Redesigning internal processes so that a registry can be used most effectively;

Steps to improve accuracy and completeness of registry data; and
