Unplanned ICU admission measured using reports in the EMR at 30 days after discharge 4. ICU length of stay measured using reports in the EMR at 30 days after discharge 5. Mortality measured using reports in the EMR at 30 days after discharge 6. Readmission measured using reports in the EMR at 30 days after discharge 7. Unplanned diagnostics measured using reports in the EMR at 30 days after discharge 8. Discharge destination measured using reports in the EMR at 30 days after discharge 9. Nursing care after admission measured using reports in the EMR at 30 days after discharge 10. Days alive at home (DAH30) measured using reports in the EMR at 30 days after discharge 11. Complication rate according Clavien-Dindo classification using reports in the EMR at 30 days after discharge 12. Failure-to-rescue measured using reports in the EMR at 30 days after discharge	—
