E-CPR QCDR and MedAmerica Qualified Registry

We are dedicated to improving the quality of emergency care across the country by developing performance and quality measures that are relevant to emergency clinicians and by tracking and sharing performance and quality data. We believe that direct provider feedback on relevant measures improves patient care.

The Emergency Medicine Qualified Clinical Data Registry (E-CPR) has expertise in Emergency Medicine and Urgent Care, with clinical expertise in measure development and engaged in collaboration with the American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) and Emergency Care Quality Measure Consortium (ECQMC).
