Virtual Pediatric Systems, LLC ("VPS") was formed in 2004 by a small group of intensivists as a national organization and now has data from over 200 ICUs with over 2 million patient admission records (of which over 200,000 are Cardiac specific). The data base is the largest collaborative for quality improvement based on severity of illness adjusted comparisons of actual, detailed patient records in critical care. This unique achievement allows VPS to provide state-of-the-art quality reports that are customizable, comparable and comprehensive for practitioners and hospital administrations to impact change and quality improvements. VPS has improved the quality of critical care, built the largest national research collaborative, provided the data for over 200 papers and contributed to saving hundreds of thousands of children's lives.Board of Directors:Conrad Band, Amy Knight, M.
