Table 1. General habits/behaviors for electronic chart review of new medical ICU admissions.

Prompt	Answer option	N (%)
Aside from reviewing the immediate ICU admission data (most recent vitals/imaging/laboratories), do you perform any form of historical electronic “chart review”?		N  = 156
	Yes	155 (99)
	No	1 (1)
For what proportion of your new patients do you perform a chart review?		N  = 155 a
	75–100%	143 (92)
	50–74%	10 (6)
	25–49%	2 (1)
	0–24%	0 (0)
The primary reason you perform an electronic chart review is:		N  = 155 a
	Primarily construct my own clinical narrative to understand the events leading to the patient's current state	125 (81)
	Confirm the major narrative events/data points as relayed by the patient or another provider	20 (13)
	Search for omitted narrative events/data points that may be relevant	8 (5)
	Other reason	2 (1)
For what percentage of new ICU admissions is your diagnosis or treatment strategy mostly established by chart review alone (i.e., excluding bedside history/exam from the patient)?		N  = 156
	0–24%	23 (15)
	25–49%	50 (32)
	50–74%	65 (42)
	75–100%	18 (12)
