Coronary Heart Attack Ireland Register (CHAIR)
CHAIR is a computer register that gathers information on hospital patients admitted with suspected or confirmed acute coronary syndromes in order to improve the delivery of healthcare and to improve patient outcomes on discharge from hospital. Acute coronary syndromes (ACS) include heart attack (myocardial infarction) and unstable angina. In mid-2007 CHAIR adopted the European Cardiology Audit and Registration Data Standards (CARDS) Acute Coronary Syndromes (ACS) dataset and became known as CHAIR/CARDS ACS.
**Purpose:** The aim of CHAIR is to gather information on hospital patients admitted with suspected or confirmed acute coronary syndromes (ACS) in order to improve the delivery of healthcare and to improve patient outcomes.
Its objectives are:
to record, describe and analyse registered patient demographics, diagnostic and treatment details and hospital outcomes
to facilitate the development of strategies to improve the quality of ACS patient care
to contribute towards the development of a national pla
**Coverage:** Pilot in HSE - South (Cork and Kerry and South Tipperary) region. Private hospital participation.

| Provenance | A CHAIR Registration Officer collects the data at each hospital. CHAIR data (2002 to 2007) was essentially in two forms: personal data in the local database (within the hospital) ‘anonymised’ data (no MRN, no name and no address) in the central database (located in Dublin). The personal data in the hospital database is information from the patient medical record. In 2007 CHAIR adopted the European CARDS ACS dataset. This entailed new software (and a new software provider) and the use of web-enabled access with data protected within the HSE South firewall. |
