N2 - This paper describes the development of a job task analysis tool for observing and recording physician tasks in the ICU. Real-time direct observations were conducted by outside observers using a computerized data collection tool developed to document the tasks performed by ICU physicians. The aim of the analysis was to quantify the tasks of the physicians, including measures of frequency, duration, and sequence for tasks. In this paper, we report on the development process, as well as the validity and reliability of the job task analysis tool. Initial results from our analyses provide support for the validity and reliability of the taxonomy developed for assessing work of ICU physicians.
