Description

The Australian and New Zealand Intensive Care Society (ANZICS) Centre for Outcome and Resource Evaluation (CORE) is a bi-national peer review and quality assurance program which has provided audit and analysis of the performance of Australian and New Zealand intensive care since 1992. This capability is uniquely provided by ANZICS, which offers an overview across regional, state, federal and international jurisdictions.

ANZICS CORE is made up of 5 data sets:

  • The Adult Patient Database (APD)
  • The Australian and New Zealand Paediatric Intensive Care (ANZPIC) dataset
  • The Critical Care Resources (CCR) dataset 
  • Extra Corporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) dataset
  • The Central line associated bloodstream Infections (CLABSI) Registry.

Over 180 sites across Australia and New Zealand submit data regularly to the registries contributing approximately 200,000 individual patient records every year. There are over 2.5 million individual de-identified ICU patient episodes stored in the registry warehouse since 1992.

The primary outcome reported by the ANZICS registries to contributing sites is in-hospital mortality. However, the overall long-term survival outcomes of patients who leave ICU alive are unknown.

The aims of the ANZICS CORE Registry Program are:

  • Provision of comparative benchmarking reports to submitting ICUs and health departments detailing variation in process measures, quality of care indicators and risk-adjusted clinical outcomes
  • Identification and analysis of outlier ICUs
  • Provision of Data Quality training workshops to support submission of high quality data
  • Assist researchers to identify potential areas for improvement of Intensive Care practices and patient outcomes.
Reporting process
  • Reported in Annual Report
  • Shared with clinicians
  • Shared with consumers
  • Shared with hospital executive
  • Online clinical reports available to all submitting units
  • Formalised quarterly reports to all jurisdictional funders, with access to online data and reports
  • Results of annual survey of Critical Care Resources results provided to submitting units and jurisdictions
  • Activity reports detailing adult and paediatric Intensive Care practices, resources and outcomes produced annually
  • 15-20 publications in peer-reviewed journals per year
