Victorian Cardiac Outcomes Registry (VCOR)

The Victorian Cardiac Outcomes Registry (VCOR) is a state-wide, population-based clinical quality registry. It is a centralised quality assurance project, aiming to improve the quality of care provided to patients with cardiovascular disease. VCOR has an active collaborative research program. The project is coordinated by the Centre of Cardiovascular Research and Education in Therapeutics.

VCOR collects data about patients undergoing relevant cardiac treatments, procedures and interventions and follows up on medical outcomes and complications up to 30 days after a patient has been discharged from hospital. Currently, VCOR has two data collection modules: Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI), and Cardiac Implantable Electronic Devices (CIED).

Funded by the Department of Health and Human Services Victoria, as at July 2022, the Registry has more than 100,000 cases from 33 Victorian Health Services. Three Tasmanian sites also contribute data to the registry.

VCOR participates in the National Cardiac Registry (NCR) which was established in 2019.
