Objectives: In the context of traditional nurse-to-patient ratios, ICU patients are typically paired with one or more copatients, creating interdependencies that may affect clinical outcomes. We aimed to examine the effect of copatient illness severity on ICU mortality.
Design: We conducted a retrospective cohort study using electronic health records from a multihospital health system from 2018 to 2020.

Background: Nursing care is a critical determinant of patient outcomes in the intensive care unit (ICU). Most studies of nursing care have focused on nursing characteristics aggregated across the ICU (eg, unit-wide nurse-to-patient ratios, education, and working environment). In contrast, relatively little work has focused on the influence of individual nurses and their characteristics on patient outcomes.

Purpose: Teamwork is an important determinant of outcomes in the intensive care unit (ICU), yet the nature of individual ICU teams remains poorly understood. We examined whether meta-data in the form of digital signatures in the electronic health record (EHR) could be used to identify and characterize ICU teams.
Methods: We analyzed EHR data from 27 ICUs over one year.
