“…The dermination of the priority of a task among nurses was found to be a dynamic process based on its context within fluid situations. 13,15 In high stress scenarios people were more likely to choose shorter tasks with more immediate rewards to alleviate the stressful mood and create a positive mood and sense of accomplishment. 16 When combined with task complexity, the number of concurrent tasks had significant effects on ability to prioritise tasks.…”

“…13 Those more experienced were better at prioritising tasks 14 and less likely to let lower priority tasks interrupt them. 14,15 Gan et al found that people who are more proactive in preparing for future events were less likely to favour immediate rewards. 16 They were also more likely to demonstrate preferences for urgent but less important tasks.…”

“…28 However, pilots were much slower to acknowledge an event when the ongoing activity was auditory as compared to visual. 23 The origin of the task also appears signifcant: internet users chose to interrupt a task based on notification source, 29 nurses prioritise tasks from patients and seniors 13,15 and airline pilots prioritise…”

“…Multiple studies have documented that many clinicians experience 'alarm fatigue' with multiple alerts and false alarms leading them to ignore alarms over time. 34 Our review has mentioned that notification source 13,15,29,30 and the intrusiveness of the notification eg audio-visual alerts 28 effect the prioritisation of the task. Combining this with OOHs software could enable a system that can encourage the user to prioritise tasks as necessary by altering type of notification to task priority.…”

Task prioritisation (TP), the ability to arrange assigned responsibilities in order of importance, has been identifi ed by doctors as the most important non-technical skill when working out of hours. This review aimed to identify the factors infl uencing task prioritisation in a workplace setting. The following databases were searched for relevant studies: BNI, CINAHL, EMBASE, MEDLINE and PsycINFO as well as the reference lists of relevant articles, review papers and Google Scholar. Data were extracted from the studies using a standard proforma. Twenty relevant papers were identifi ed from management, aviation and healthcare fi elds. Task prioritisation ability differed across individuals and was associated with personality and experience. Tasks were prioritised based on length, urgency, importance and reward. With practice people become more effi cient at task prioritisation. Practical applications include education, personalised task management software and intrusive notifi cations. Additional research is needed to assess the effects of such interventions in a healthcare setting.
