Abstract

Public reporting of PCI outcomes has had a polarizing effect on the cardiology community. The potential benefits of public reporting are many, but a host of unintended consequences have likely mitigated the anticipated positive impact of current reporting systems. In this review, we discuss what the goals of public disclosure are, the limitations of current reporting systems and the resultant unintended consequences. We also offer a perspective on future directions with a view to ensuring the benefits of public reporting while minimizing the risk of unintended consequences.
