Purpose / Aims: | VCOR was established in 2012 to ensure the safety and quality of cardiac based therapies across Victoria. As a clinical quality registry, VCOR monitors the performance of health services in both the public and private sectors. |
Population Captured: | VCOR has two separate modules currently collecting data of interest in cardiovascular care. These include a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) clinical quality registry and a Cardiac Implantable Electronic Device (CIED) module. The PCI and modules directly relate to management of coronary artery disease, primarily in its acute form (heart attacks and angina). All hospitals in Victoria performing PCI contribute data to the registry. |
