All hospitals that are licensed to perform adult open heart surgery are required to provide data on each patient. Data are to be submitted every quarter to the Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) National Database. New cases as of January 1, 2024 are no longer reported to the NJ Cardiac Surgery Data Registry but instead to the STS Adult Cardiac Surgery Database (ACSD).
The staff of the Office of Health Care Quality Assessment is available to assist you with any questions you may have regarding data submission. You may contact them at:
