Dashboard for Delivery of Renal Replacement Therapy. A sample dashboard is shown in this figure, created as a composite of the metrics followed to assess the quality of renal replacement therapy (RRT) delivery at our institution. Continuous RRT (CRRT) activity is shown on the top line of graphs, broken down by fiscal year (FY), aquapheresis, quarter of the year, and intensive care unit (ICU) environment (P = pediatric, C = cardiac, N = neonatal). The second line of displayed data are all pie-chart and visually give a cumulative indicator of primary patient disease, percent fluid accumulation at time of RRT initiation, survival percentage, and starting weight of the patients receiving RRT. The final line of the dashboard displays data on performance and delivery: treatment time, dialysis dose and relationship of prescribed versus delivered, filter lifespan and % of filters above our institutional “baseline”, unintended filter changes, and finally the achievement of fluid goals as a function of time (in FY and quarter)
