caregiver table
caregiver
A description table for the ICU caregivers in the ICU module referenced by caregiver_id.
As of MIMIC-IV v2.2, this table simply lists all unique caregiver_id in the database.
Note that, in order to distinguish identifiers used in the hospital wide EHR from those used in the ICU information system, we have adopted the nomenclature of “caregivers” for the ICU (caregiver_id and caregivers). For the hospital data in the hosp module, we use the terminology of “providers” (provider_id and providers). However, conceptually, both these sets of identifiers and tables refer to practicing providers at the hospital.
