    This study introduces a new dependency scoring system for intensive care units (ICUs). It enhances the Intensive Care Register (ICR) by including crucial factors like patient counseling and managing agitation to better measure nursing support needs.

    Area of Science:

    • Critical Care Medicine
    • Nursing Science
    • Healthcare Management

    Background:

    • Existing dependency scoring systems in intensive care units (ICUs), such as the Intensive Care Register (ICR), have limitations.
    • These systems often overlook critical factors influencing patient dependency and required nursing support.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop an improved dependency scoring system for ICUs.
    • To create a system that complements the established ICR, offering a more accurate patient dependency measure.

    Main Methods:

    • A novel dependency scoring system was developed for ICU settings.
    • The system is designed for integration with the existing Intensive Care Register (ICR).

    Main Results:

  • The new system accounts for factors previously omitted in standard scoring.
  • It provides a more realistic assessment of patient dependency and nursing care requirements.

    • Conclusions:

    • The proposed ICU dependency scoring system offers a more comprehensive and accurate measure of patient needs.
    • Integrating this system with the ICR enhances its utility and maintains a link to established practices.
