The American College of Cardiology (ACC) has certified LUMEDX software as fully interoperable between four ACC NCDR registries. LUMEDX, a leading provider of integrated cardiovascular imaging and information systems, is currently the only software vendor offering this level of interoperability.
“We believe that interoperability is the next step in a more seamless user experience and will provide institutions with an easy, efficient means of collecting data and participating in the NCDR. We are excited to certify LUMEDX software with this new functionality,” said Senior Director of NCDR Registry Services Barbara Christensen, MSHA, RN.

Interoperability between the LUMEDX registry modules enables hospitals to monitor standards of care more efficiently."
Automatic cross-population of common data across ACC NCDR registries helps cardiovascular service lines:
Registry interoperability is the latest in a suite of tools developed to help hospitals meet the growing demand for accessible data and straightforward national registry participation. These solutions enable easy data collection while providing hospitals with the access and flexibility they need to get the most out of their data.
