BSIR NVR Engagement Survey

There is a need to improve the national collection of procedural data in IR so that it can support service delivery and quality improvement.

The National Vascular Registry (NVR) is an important infrastructure for collecting vascular procedural data. However, case ascertainment for endovascular procedures remains below 60%.

The purpose of this survey is to better understand the challenges and barriers to IR engagement with the NVR so that we can make practical improvements that will (i) enhance its usefulness for interventional radiologists and (ii) improve data quality.

Your feedback will help shape changes that will make contributing to the NVR easier and more valuable.
