Why Join the Registry

The purpose of the CHILD Registry is to enable pediatricians and others who care for children to improve child health and well-being through the use of data. The Registry collects data in a 100% HIPPA compliant manner from electronic health record systems at participating sites, through automated mechanisms, to develop a longitudinal medical record of each child in the United States.

The CHILD Registry is the only registry of its kind and is broad in scope, by design. It has the potential to act as a “super registry” or an umbrella entity to many of the other episodic, or condition-based, registries because it will capture a superset of data unlike other registries. Furthermore, it can integrate with your organization’s current electronic health record and other existing registries, requiring very few additional resources after the initial implementation. The CHILD Registry will not only be a robust quality improvement resource, but an excellent asset to streamline reporting requirements, and other value-based contracting requirements from public and commercial payers.

The CHILD Registry will enable your organization to support national public health initiatives & surveillance, advance research in pediatric care and help define a nationally standardized set of pediatric quality measurements through data collection and benchmarking to improve the health of children across our nation.

Your participation will help define nationally standardized measures of pediatric quality from a clinical-led perspective to drive patient safety and lead your market in high quality pediatric care. Your pediatric patients will have better health outcomes and your pediatric department can demonstrate value to the hospital system, payers, and policymakers.

We understand how committed academic medical centers and children’s hospitals are to improving the health and care of children and adolescents and thank you for considering participating in the CHILD registry.
