NICOR (the National Institute for Cardiovascular Outcomes Research) is part of the Centre for Cardiovascular Preventions and Outcomes at University College London. We are a unique partnership of clinicians (from local hospitals, the national specialist societies and DH), IT experts, analysts, academics and managers. NICOR enables clinicians to take a leading, central part in the NHS "information revolution‟.
Our mission is to provide information to improve heart disease patients' quality of care and outcomes. NICOR collects patient information from UK hospitals into secure cardiovascular registries established by the specialist clinical societies. We then help the NHS, the government and regulatory bodies improve quality by checking that care meets good practice standards through clinical audit, and by comparing outcomes such as casemix-adjusted survival rates. Our reports and online public portals help patients make choices, and build public confidence in NHS cardiac care. NICOR encourages research using "real world‟ data to complement and refine the lessons learnt from randomised clinical trials.
NICOR's initial focus is to manage six national cardiovascular clinical audits and their associated registries
