Familiar teams save lives!
Interesting observational study finds lower ICU mortality on shifts where RNs work with familiar colleagues: RR 0.9 (CI 0.82ā0.98; Pā=ā0.012) per 10 shifts worked together.
We should remember this when making ICU schedules!

Some ideas for operationalizing this:
- avoid floating RNs to unfamiliar units of possible; consider floating buddies together if required
- block schedules where people work with familiar colleagues (good for morale too)
- train new team members on experienced/familiar teams
