A decade of the ORCHESTRA study: organizational characteristics, patient outcomes, performance and efficiency in critical care - Critical Care Science (CCS)
The organization and structure of intensive care units (ICUs) affect the quality and efficiency of critical care.(,) Because acute care delivery varies significantly across countries, patient populations and local care practices, the associations of ICU structure, process and outcomes are also expected to differ depending on the context. Currently, most of the available information on ICUs has been reported in studies performed in developed countries, and these results may not fully translate to developing countries.
