SATI-Q: 20 years of history, evolution and perspectives for the future

Abstract

The SATI-Q Program was created as a voluntary register for monitoring quality indicators with the aim of optimising the performance of Intensive Care Units (ICUs) in Argentina. The first report, constructed from data from ICUs, was released in 2003. Paediatric ICUs have been included in the Program in 2005. Since then, without interruptions, annual reports and periodic updates of the software were maintained. By 2022, a FHIR HL7 resource had been created so that the units could participate in an interoperable manner. With more than 150 Units reporting data, more than 250 thousand analysable records between adult and paediatric hospitalisations, we want to present the evolution of these indicators, the challenges of the programme to be sustained over time and the innovations for the future (including the use of data for artificial intelligence) that will allow us to continue moving forward after the first 20 years of history.
