The BI module provides advanced and readily avail- able statistics for both clinicians and managers. Tables, graphs and reports are compiled in minutes directly from the production database and copied into a wide range of programs or exported for use in advanced statistical programs. This type of documentation plays a key role in supporting the ongoing accumulation of fact based clinical evidence. Managers can optimize capacity utiliza- tion in the ICU and track productivity gains and outcome improvements obtained with the support of CIS.
