Documentation
The documentation system ICdoc® (Intensive Care Documentation)
was developed by the Österreichisches
Zentrum für Dokumentation und Qualitätssicherung in
der Intensivmedizin (ASDI) in cooperation with büll informatik
gesmbh. The system includes many functions that allow the user
to document the patients’ data, especially in intensive
care units. The system is able to calculate a variety of indices:
e.g. SAPS II, SAPS 3, SOFA, TRISS and APACHE II as indicators
of the severity of illness or TISS-28 as an indicator of the level
of care.
Analysis
ICdoc is not only a documentation system, but also integrates
a complete data analysis module. Important numbers, such as the
percentage of occupied beds, the number of patients per diagnostic
group, or the level of care, can be displayed with just one click,
either as report or graph. Because of the included report generator,
it is easy to print these reports and to use them for managerial
purposes.
Interfaces
Besides the preconfigured reports, ICdoc offers the opportunity
to generate user-configured reports. Assistance with user configuration
is provided by the “Export-Wizard”. This option is
most useful for those users who need a special arrangement of
data, e.g. for a scientific project. In addition, ICdoc provides
several interfaces for importing and exporting data from and into
other software systems. Thus, demographic data and laboratory
tests can be automatically imported from hospital information
systems.
Available languages
ICdoc and all his components have been developed multilingual.
This includes the user documentation and all available reports.
For come countries we have developed specific modules, depending
on their legal situation. At the moment, ICdoc is available in
the following languages: German, English and Portuguese.

Scientific management
The scientific management for the development of ICdoc is done
by the Österreichisches
