Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• To determine if it is feasible to survey clinicians regarding their opinions about future risks for individual patients in the ICU setting To determine the range of team situational awareness exhibited by current ICU clinician teams

  It is expected that a maximum of ten minutes will be required to complete the survey.

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 17 Years - 70 Years
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: Yes
• Age Groups: Child (0-17), Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
• Sampling Method: Probability Sample

Study Population

Daily census rosters of the MICU and 8ICU nursing units will be reviewed for occupancy. At 8am on survey days occupied beds will be tallied (up to 39 beds). Beds occupied by a non-MICU service patient and those with active DNR-CC orders will be excluded. From the remaining patients, ten bed numbers will be randomly selected for review. Randomization will be stratified by MICU service sub-unit (MICU 40, MICU 90, 8ICU). If fewer than ten patients are eligible on an assigned survey day, all patients in the ICU on that day will be surveyed.

You may qualify if:

• Nurses, primary clinicians (resident or NP) and Critical Care physicians (Staff or Fellow in Critical Care Medicine) will be approached for interview. All subjects will be approached individually and asked to participate outside of the presence of the other potential study subjects.

You may not qualify if:
