ANZPICR Study Day
2024-09-30 09:30 - 16:00 (Australia/Melbourne) | Agency for Clinical Innovation (ACI), Sydney, 2065, Australia
This year, we are holding the ANZPIC Registry Study Day on Monday, 30th September 2024, in Sydney at the Agency for Clinical Innovation, 1 Reserve Rd, St Leonards, NSW.
The purpose of the Study Day is to provide support to the staff at each site who are responsible for the collection and coding of the registry data. The aim is to ensure the quality and consistency of the submitted data by providing a forum for education, discussion of the process and outcomes, and the opportunity to contribute to the future development of the ANZPIC Registry. Participation in the training on this day should also assist in minimizing time for data query resolution and subsequent data cleaning.
The Study Day is free of charge, with lunch provided, and is open to anyone who has involvement with the Registry data. (It is expected that each unit will provide financial support for travel costs for their staff). The meeting will start at 9:30 am and finish at 4:00 pm, and will consist of a combination of practical, informational, and planning sessions.
Past attendees have found the day valuable, allowing them to meet others working throughout Australia and New Zealand in the same field and participating in discussions around coding and data collection.
if you’d like to attend or have any questions about this event, please email us at anzpic.data@anzics.org by 23rd September 2024.

On behalf of the organising committee, we warmly invite you to attend the Australia and New Zealand Intensive Care Society New Zealand Regional Scientific Meeting 2024.

The theme for the ANZICS NZ RSM 2024 is “The future’s so bright”.
As you will be only too aware, since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic four years ago, we have seen unprecedented strain on our Intensive Care Units and their staff. This has required us to adapt, innovate and work in extraordinary ways. As we move to recover, we are keen to explore these innovations and see how we can be future looking and inspired to work in new ways while looking after and future proofing ourselves. We want to ensure we are prepared to deliver exceptional care to our critically ill patients and their whānau.
We are thrilled to have an outstanding line up of speakers who will deliver thought provoking keynote and plenary sessions on a range of topics including state of the art clinical updates; education; personal well-being and career development. Our speakers are key leaders representing our diverse Intensive Care community – medical, nursing and allied health.

The ANZICS Clinical Leadership Program
Clinical Leadership in ICU: Culture, Communication and Resilience

Intensive care is a complex clinical environment providing unique challenges not experienced in other healthcare settings. Through this lens, the ANZICS Clinical Leadership Program provides the opportunity for emerging clinical leaders to build tools and frameworks that will refine their leadership purpose, develop skills to negotiate workplace challenges and explore strategies to influence organisational change.
Partnered by behavioural strategy firm Neuro, this module on culture, communication and leadership is delivered as a two-day workshop with 20 hours of online learning and is part of the bespoke clinical leadership program developed by a multidisciplinary faculty. Early career clinicians working in intensive care across all specialties are invited to attend.
Program at a Glance:
At the conclusion of this module participants will:

Define and discuss the pillars of clinical leadership in an ICU environment,

Explore how leaders influence ICU culture and identify behaviours and characteristics that contribute to positive culture in the workplace,

Examine the individual, team and system dynamics that impact on ICU culture and analyse the role of a ‘safety culture’ in leading and managing organisational performance,

Design a strategy to enhance the psychological safety of an ICU team and formulate a collaborative plan to approach conflict resolution within the workplace, or

ANZICS ACCCN Annual Scientific Meeting 2025: Pre-Conference ANZICS Registry Workshop
2025-04-08 | Te Pae Christchurch Convention Centre, 188 Oxford Terrace Christchurch, Canterbury, New Zealand
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.
Speakers: A/Prof David Pilcher, Dr Paul Secombe, Ms Shaila Chavan, Ms Jennifer Hogan
Date & Time: Tuesday 8th April 2025, 9 am to 3 pm
