The Critical Care and Medicine Database is a data collection project for Internal Medicine Wards and Critical Care units within the WRHA.

Purpose and Mission

The database has been used for quality control, administrative support and medical research. Any research involving our data has first to be approved by the steering committee, and by the University of Manitoba Research Ethics Board if appropriate.

Data we collect

We collect data for all ICU patients in Winnipeg, and for Internal Medicine patients on specific wards at the following hospitals:

  • Health Sciences Center
  • St Boniface Hospital
  • Victoria General Hospital
  • Grace General Hospital

We collect information required to generate the following scores:

For Medicine patients we also collect move information and certain task information.

For Critical Care patients we also what labs were done and some medication information.

For details on which diagnoses and comorbids we track, please see the ICU and Medicine Diagnoses and Comorbids List.

As of January 2008 we had data for over 100000 patients.

History

The Critical Care and Medicine Database has been collecting increasing amounts of data from critical care and medicine patients at Winnipeg hospitals since 1988.
