The present project, called UCIs Centroamérica y Caribe, aims to characterize the epidemiologic profile of Central American and Caribbean ICUs and share useful information to guide health policies and strategies to improve the care of critically ill patients in the region.
In addition, the project aims to encourage the use of quality indicators and performance in the management of Central American and Caribbean ICUs and thereby improve the quality of intensive care and increase patient safety in Central America and the Caribbean.
Similar initiatives in Latin America and the Iberian Peninsula, as part of the project “UCIs Ibero-americanas”, and in countries such as the United Kingdom (ICNARC), Australia and New Zealand (ANZICS-CORE), the Netherlands (NICE) and Belgium (MICA) are essential to improve the quality and safety of critically ill patients and are an important basis for projects that aim to improve the efficiency of the ICU and to promote clinical research.
