HERON River Walk debuts NCDR data

Search for data used to measure and improve quality of cardiovascular care at KUMC with the ​National Cardiovascular Data Registry (NCDR) data in HERON. The NCDR is used to answer questions regarding patient risk factors and outcomes as well as procedures, treatments and device use.

Searching with alerts continues to improve with enhancements to the drug interaction and allergy alerts data.
