National survey focusing on the crucial information needs of intensive care charge nurses and intensivists: same goal different demands

摘要

BackgroundAlthough information technology adequately supports clinical care in many intensive care units (ICUs), it provides much poorer support for the managerial information needed to coordinate multi-professional care. To gain a general view of the most crucial multi-professional information needs of ICU shift leaders a national survey was conducted, focusing on the information needs of charge nurses and intensivists.
