What’s below the surface when your ICU’s above the line? When success isn’t what it seems. The ANZICS ICU Outlier Management Program.

So you’ve been flagged as an ICU outlier and the CEO wants to meet. The clock is ticking and you need to make sense of the data to find a solution. Where do you start? What do you do?

Using a fictional case example, you will analyse ICU benchmark data from the Adult Patient Database, Critical Care Resources Survey and Critical Health Resource Information System to investigate possible contributing factors to explain your outlier status. You and your team will dive into the data, formulate a plan of what you’ll say to the CEO, then plead your case. What will be your pitch?

This workshop will enhance your ability to analyse ANZICS registry benchmark reports and examine factors that affect data quality to monitor ICU performance.

If you’re an ICU clinician, data manager or leader with an interest in using data for quality improvement, this workshop is for you.

Learning Objectives:

• Demystify the ANZICS CORE Outlier Management Program, discuss the lessons learnt from 30 years of outlier analyses, and the exciting future directions of the program.
• Enhance skills and knowledge in monitoring ICU performance through testing your ability to interpret ICU benchmark reports.
• Discuss and demonstrate strategies in how to present ICU data to hospital executives.
• Explore factors that affect data quality and risk of death predictions.
• Discuss the Australian and New Zealand Risk of Death (ANZROD) Model.

Target audience: ICU clinicians, data managers and leaders with an interest in using data for quality improvement.
