ACSQHC-ARCR-99

A collaborative project conducted to improve patient outcomes and foster and grow high quality research by the establishment and maintenance of a prospective database of cardiac surgical procedures performed in centres throughout Australia and New Zealand.

Vision: Empower all cardiac surgery team members to improve the understanding and practice of cardiopulmonary bypass to improve cardiac surgical patient outcomes.

Mission: Maintain and develop the Australian and New Zealand Collaborative Perfusion Registry for cardiac surgical procedures performed throughout Australia and New Zealand. Promote the reporting and understanding of the effect of cardiopulmonary bypass on patient outcomes through encouraging evidence based practices, quality assurance, quality improvement and research.

Aims:

1. Cultivate and grow a non-identifiable data source to be known as the Australian and New Zealand Collaborative Perfusion Registry (ANZCPR)
2. Encourage adoption of evidence based practices through the collection and reporting of data relevant to the practice of cardiopulmonary bypass
3. Empower cardiac surgical team members through the utilisation of the data to understand clinical practice, provide a foundation for research, and to facilitate quality improvement and benchmarking.

Objectives: ANZCPR aims to empower cardiac surgical team members through the collection and reporting of data relevant to the practice of cardiopulmonary bypass. This will be achieved through the maintenance of a prospective data set on cardiac surgical procedures performed in multiple sites throughout Australia and New Zealand and through the collaborative network of perfusion and interested researchers, who share the commitment to cooperation and collaboration in the pursuit of excellence in perfusion.
