The Mechanical Circulatory Support Registry™
The Time Is Now - MCSR
Every minute at the bedside matters.
Now it can be verified.
You said you were there. MCSR™ verifies it. Verified

Why We Exist

To provide an independent registry of verified clinical experience
for clinicians caring for mechanical circulatory support patients.

Greater Transparency.
Better Decisions.
Better Outcomes.
The Patient Comes First.

Your Clinical Dossier

Yours wherever you go.

The MCSR™ is not tied to your employer. It is not held by a board. It belongs to you — a permanent, portable record of the clinical experience you earned, verified and ready to go wherever your career takes you.

Independent. Portable. Clinician-Owned.

Clinical Experience

Clinical Experience Is Career Currency.

Every hour you spend caring for a patient on mechanical circulatory support has value — to your patient, to your institution, and to your profession. For the first time, MCSR™ makes sure it is never lost.

Your documented clinical experience has value for your current employer, future employers and recruiters, hospital credentialing committees, consulting and advisory opportunities, and most importantly — your patients.

A verified record provides measurable evidence of clinical experience, volume, and continued practice.

Who This Is For

This is for the patient —
and the entire team caring for them.

Every clinician in that room has a role. Every hour they’ve logged matters.

The Perfusionist
You run the heart-lung machine. No one else does what you do. Your verified hours document the depth of experience you bring to every case — and give you the record to prove it in every salary negotiation and contract you will ever sign.
The ECMO Clinician
ECMO management is one of the most demanding skills in critical care. The hours you have logged keeping patients alive through the night deserve to be permanently documented, verified, and portable.
The NRP Practitioner
Normothermic Regional Perfusion is a growing and specialized modality. The practitioners building experience in NRP now are the ones who will define the standard. Your hours matter. Document them.
The Bedside Nurse
MCS nursing is a specialized skill set that general nursing credentials do not capture. If you are the primary nurse managing an MCS patient, those hours represent a depth of experience worth documenting and verifying.
The Administrator / Physician
For the first time, you can ask for verified clinical volume — not just years of service — and receive a credentialed, auditable answer. The MCS Registry gives you the tool to hire, contract, and compensate with precision.

Greater transparency. Better decisions. Better outcomes. The patient comes first.

Credential Tracks

Four Tracks. One Standard.

Each MCSR™ credential represents verified, documented hours. Not a course completion. Not self-reported attestation. Verified hours caring for patients who needed you there.

VCH™
Verified CPB Hours
For perfusionists managing cardiopulmonary bypass. You run the heart-lung machine. VCH documents your verified pump hours -- the record you earned but never had a way to prove.
VEH™
Verified ECMO Hours
For clinicians managing patients on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. Validates your bedside hours in one of medicine's most demanding clinical environments.
VNH™
Verified NRP Hours
For clinicians participating in Normothermic Regional Perfusion organ preservation protocols. Documents your role in a rapidly expanding field.
VVH™
Verified VAD Hours
For clinicians managing patients on ventricular assist devices -- acute, bridge, and destination therapy. Your hours at the bedside, verified.

What MCSR™ Is — and Isn't

Clear about what we do.

MCSR™ Is
  • ✓ An independent, clinician-founded registry
  • ✓ A clinical experience registry
  • ✓ A registry of documented, self-attested clinical hours
  • ✓ A threshold-based credentialing framework
  • ✓ A portable professional record
  • ✓ An auditable system
  • ✓ Clinician-owned and controlled
MCSR™ Is Not
  • ✗ A replacement for certification boards
  • ✗ A license
  • ✗ A competency determination
  • ✗ A scope-of-practice authority
  • ✗ A claim that every minute was individually witnessed by MCSR™

MCSR™ verifies compliance with MCSR™ standards, not direct observation of every clinical minute.

Why It Matters

The credential the field has been missing.

MCS care happens every day at the bedside. The people providing it have no formal mechanism to document, verify, or credential those hours. Until now.

Hours-Based, Not Exam-Based
A clinician who has not run a complex case in two years carries the same credential as one who ran 400 last year. Verified hours change that. MCSR™ measures what actually matters -- time at the bedside.
For Everybody
Perfusionists, RNs, RTs, PAs, NPs -- if you are caring for patients on mechanical circulatory support, your hours count. MCSR™ credentials the work, not just the title.
Verification, Not Attestation
Self-reported recertification is the current standard. MCSR™ requires institutional verification of your hours. That distinction is the difference between a credential that means something and one that does not.
Backfill Eligible
Your verified hours don't start today. If you have the records, bring them. Your career did not begin the day you joined the registry.
Your Verified Credential
Digital badge. Employer verification letter. LinkedIn-ready. Put it in your promotion packet. Every salary negotiation. Every contract. Every credentialing committee.
MCSR Verified Mark
CEU + Simulation. All in One Place.
Your MCSR dossier captures more than clinical hours. Log your conference CE, simulation training, and teaching hours in the same verified record. One place. Your complete professional picture.

Your Clinical Dossier

This is what you are building.

Every case. Every CE hour. Every simulation. One permanent, portable, verified record.

The Extended Care Team

The Extended Care Team.

The MCS Registry was built for the individual clinician. But better-documented individuals make stronger organizations — and stronger organizations deliver better patient outcomes.

Hospital Credentialing Committees
For the first time, you can request verified clinical volume — not just years of service — and receive an independently auditable answer. Hire and credential with precision.
Joint Commission & Regulatory Bodies
Competency documentation is not a checkbox. The MCS Registry provides the individual-level verified experience data that supports HR.01.06.01 compliance and Magnet designation standards.
Healthcare Administrators & Contract Groups
Certifying bodies serve the organization. The MCS Registry serves the individual — so the individual can better serve the organization. When your clinicians can prove their experience, your program can prove its standard of care.
