Key result
VQI registry and Medicare claims successfully generate center-specific survival, reintervention, and surveillance reports.
Why the study?
Combining registry and administrative claims data enables generation of centre-specific reports to benchmark vascular intervention performance for quality improvement.
The distribution of centre-specific reports using linked registry and claims data provides a mechanism for vascular centres to benchmark performance and identify areas for quality improvement.
The combination of registry and administrative claims data have facilitated research and quality improvement efforts. Using Vascular Quality Initiative (VQI) registry data and Medicare claims we have generated centre-specific survival, reintervention and surveillance reports which benchmark participating centres' performance to the VQI as a whole and to published guidelines. In 2021, we distributed these reports to 303 participating centres. These reports offer an opportunity for centres to evaluate their performance and identify focus areas for quality improvement work.

Fowler et al. (2022) studied Vascular interventions. Centre-specific survival, reintervention and surveillance reports vs. VQI as a whole and published guidelines was evaluated. Centre-specific survival, reintervention, and surveillance reports using VQI registry and Medicare claims data were successfully generated and distributed to 303 participating centres in 2021.
