In diesem Sommersemester wird die im letzten Winter erfolgreich gestartete Vortragsreihe Medical Information Sciences fortgesetzt. Renommierte Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftler unterschiedlicher Fachdisziplinen und Forschungsstandorte geben jeden Dienstag ab 17:30 Uhr Einblicke in aktuelle Fragestellungen und Anwendungsgebiete des breiten Forschungsfeldes Medical Information Sciences.

In this lecture the origin and development of the National Intensive Care Evaluation (NICE) registry, a Dutch quality registry including all ICU patients in the Netherlands will be presented. The lecture will explain which data is included, to what extent it is possible to use routinely collected data from the EHR to fill the NICE registry, and which measures are taken to optimize data quality and reduce administrative burden. The primary aim of the NICE registry is to support ICUs in monitoring and improving quality of care. Benchmarking or audit and feedback, i.e. the strategy that intends to encourage professionals to change their clinical practice by providing professional performance based on explicit criteria or standards back to professionals in a structured manner, is an important strategy of quality registries in realising quality improvement. The lecture will include examples on the effectiveness of audit and feedback, among which an RCT on actionable indicators and a toolbox for improvement activities in the domain of pain management. The secondary aim of the NICE registry is to provide an infrastructure to research medical and methodological medical informatics research questions. If time allows, some examples out of ~180 scientific journal papers and 15 PhD theses based on the NICE registry will be presented.
