Coordinated Registry Network (CRN) Project

ONC will be working with NLM, FDA & AHRQ to develop pilot criteria for the CRN project. This project plans to establish a strategically coordinated registry network for women’s health technologies and develop tools to facilitate collection of data within the existing and new registries through leveraging clinical care data. We anticipate that the data in these registries can be used to evaluate effectiveness & safety associated with differing treatment options; assess the effectiveness & quality of life associated with varying treatment options; provide a framework for clinical studies to be conducted within a registry such as the type of studies required to fulfill the FDA's request for post-market surveillance; and allow healthcare providers to track quality measures for quality improvements and fulfill the Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services (CMS), Physician Quality and Reporting Systems (PQRS) and maintenance of certification requirements.
