35 Way Forward Individual CCLs responsible for data accuracy A designated medical staff as point of contact Half-yearly report feedback to individual CCLs Collaborate with HI & IT Team GRR for PCI reports integrating audit capability (All the CCLs are using the GRR PCI reporting system since January 25) Data Quality cross-check check with data warehouse eg death registry, LIS, MOE Continue HA territory-wide PCI audit to verify the risk-adjusted model Uphold the standard of PCI procedures performed in HA hospitals Interventional Cardiologists more willing to take up high-risk cases Patients more well-informed of the risks of PCI
