We developed a prioritized list of 13 QIs for continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) care. Future work should focus on developing validated benchmarks for these QIs and implementing them into CRRT programs. We conducted a modified three stage Delphi process. This consisted of two web-based rounds followed by an in-person meeting. We recruited an interdisciplinary panel of critical care nephrology experts and knowledge users. In each stage of the Delphi process panelists responded on whether a QI should be included in our final list. In the third round, any QI for which there was uncertainty to include was discussed and a final decision on whether to include was made.
