NMD American College of Radiology (ACR) Initiative Part of the NRDR ( National Radiology Data Registry) Collects MQSA required data Provides comparative information back to participating sites every 6 months Allows sites to do national and regional benchmarking
nrdr.acr.org
What is NRDR? Information system Provides objective measures of practice processes and outcomes Designed by radiologists Includes National Oncologic PET Registry (NOPR) CT Colonography Registry General Radiology Improvement Database (GRID) IV Contrast Extravasation Registry (ICE) National Mammography Database Registry Quality Improvement Registry for CT scans in Children (QuIRCC) Dose Index Registry
Benchmark Data National benchmark data provided by Breast Cancer Surveillance Consortium (BCSC) are used for comparisons with facility data in the semi-annual reports provided to NMD participants Also uses NMD results of all participating facilities as benchmarks Facilities receive facility level and provider level data
Benefits ABR has qualified the NMD for practice quality improvement (PQI) for ABR Maintenance of Certification (MOC) Program 3 PQI projects are required every 10 years for all radiologists who have not been given a lifetime certificate by the ABR
Joining Any radiology facility can participate A participation agreement and a business associate’s agreement between ACR and the facility must be signed first
Upload from facility to NMD Obtained through input of data elements into facility RIS/ HIS The RIS/HIS vendor must support the NMD platform (HL-7) fields Vendor software must be approved by NMD Facility requests upgrade to NMD version Assign one person to upload data Upload is one click

Summary NMD will help with MQSA audit NMD will help with required PQI NMD provides a feedback mechanism for radiologists and facilities to see if their practice can be improved
