Provides ISCCM guidelines for developing and validating quality indicators in Indian ICUs.
ICU quality parameters require local validation before adoption; extends ISCCM guidance by mandating ongoing development across units and case mixes.
parameter properly or the parameter needs further development in the form of precision and complexity or the 'vital few' problems have not been properly identified. A constant engagement with the improvement process is necessary on the part of the team. The parameter needs to be developed, validated and revalidated in the same unit and in different units among the similar and dissimilar case mix before it is finally accepted.
