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;
-
Using registry data to identify gaps in care;
-
Registry use in tandem with electronic health records (EHRs);

Steps to improve accuracy and completeness of registry data; and
-
The evolving role of patient registries in delivering accountable care.
The 49-page 2012 Benchmarks in Patient Registry Use for Accountable Care is part of the HIN Healthcare Benchmarking series, which provides continuous qualitative data on industry trends to empower healthcare companies to assess strengths, weaknesses and opportunities to improve by comparing organizational performance to reported metrics.
