In autumn 2019, the Swedish Intensive Care Registry started the project "Safe quality intensive care". This is part of the changed role that quality registers will have in the new healthcare organisation and knowledge management.
What is an audit?
An audit is a structured form of support for self‑assessment within intensive care, with several key purposes:
- To improve and evaluate the quality of data reported to SIR.
- To enhance the quality of intensive care—both locally and nationally.
- To stimulate continuous quality‑improving follow‑up and development.
The two steps of the audit
- Step 1: A physical on‑site visit to the unit, involving external intensive care staff and representatives from SIR.
- Step 2: A follow‑up conducted 6–12 months after the initial visit.
Planning for 2026
SIR’s audit activities are temporarily suspended due to the current financial circumstances of the Swedish Intensive Care Registry. We will update this decision or revisit it should conditions change. We regret any impact this may have.
