Abstract
The pilot study showed good internal validity for most of the abstracted variables. High agreement rates were observed, regardless of method of original data capture (electronic download or manual entry), although agreement was higher for some data items that had been electronically downloaded into the Project IMPACT database. The results suggest that Project IMPACT is a valuable resource for ICUs to collect and evaluate information about treatment and patient outcomes.
