Topics
• Audit– What is it?– Who should do it?
• Can we identify high quality ICUs?
• Combining measures
• The role of intensive care in the whole chain of care
Intensive Care is about medicine, care, compassion and organisation
Are we doing a good job ?How could we do even better ?

Audit
• from Latin auditus = act of hearing
• Synonyms: examination, analysis, checkup, inspection, perlustration, review, scan, scrutiny, survey, view
• Related: investigation, probe, check, control, corrective
A thorough, systematic examination of the processes and results of a health care service.

What is Quality ?
“the degree to which health services increase the likelihood of desired health outcomes and are consistent with current professional knowledge”
Institute of Medicine, 1990

4 Reasons for auditing your ICU
1. Audit is an essential tool for quality improvement• you only manage what you measure
2. Audit is in the interest of your patients• to ensure safe and evidence-based care
3. Audit is in the interest of your ICU team• to enhance team culture, professionalism, job satisfaction
4. Audit is in the interest of health systems
1. to ensure efficient and fair use of resources
Another reason for auditing your ICU
If you don‘t compare your ICU with others
someone else will do it !
A. Valentin 10/2004
Intensive care: Why the differences?
An Audit Commission report has highlighted that some hospital intensive care services have higher death rates than others. BBC News Online examines the reasons behind this.

To audit meansto compare Objectives and Reality
• Structurewhat you need vs what is provided
• Processwhat you should do vs. what you do
• Outcomewhat you expect vs. what you find

Quality interactions innosocomial infection
• Structure– Room design– Fixed installations– Medical equipment– Air conditioning– Staffing– Training level– Funding
• Process– Handwashing– Isolation/infection
precaution– Infection reporting– Room cleaning,
desinfection– Antibiotic use– Communication
Availability of an alcohol solution can improve hand disinfection compliance in an intensive care unit

What do we need?
• A network of ICUs who collect data – Temporally limited – Temporally unlimited (benchmarking project)
• Standardization of data collection– Common data set
• A set of tools to compare institutions– Defined indicator variables
Clinical Audit
To determine• whether you have done what you set out to
do• whether you have achieved your objectives
Requirement• a standard or guidelines for intended care to
audit against.

Austrian Center for Documentation and Quality Assurance in Intensive Care Medicine
• Founded in 1994• Support of several multinational studies in
intensive care:– SAPS 3– SEE 1 & 2
• 130 ICUs in Austria use the documentation standard with the software ICdoc
• 70 ICUs take part in the ASDI benchmarking• Annual reports to participating ICUs

• Inappropriate blood glucose management• Blood glucose variability too high• Frequency of hypoglycaemic episodes • Overreaction in case of hypoglycaemia

Wrong time or wrong destination ?
Quality is not about individual performance
Structures and processes in the ICUthat ensure
that every patient, every time,receives
every applicable evidence-based best practice
What a team needs to know
•What are our goals ?•Do we reach our goals ?•What are our strengths ?•What are our weak points ?•Are we getting better ?
