1999 as an initiative of the Australian and New
Zealand Society of Cardiac and Thoracic Surgeons
(ANZSCTS), Monash University, and the Victorian
Department of Health. Since then, the program has
expanded nationally to become Australia’s only
adult cardiac surgery database.
The ANZSCTS Database Program is an established
quality assurance program with aims to:
Monitor patient treatment and outcomes Track serious complications Benchmark unit performance nationally Standardise quality of treatment and care for
patients Encourage research into improved cardiac
healthcare
The Data Custodian is Professor Christopher Reid,
Director of the Centre for Cardiovascular Research
and Education in Therapeutics (CCRET), Monash
University. CCRET is responsible for the
management and maintenance of the program.
There are currently twenty-three public hospitals (out
