Impact of workflow interruptions on baseline activities of the doctors working in the emergency department

Abstract: BackgroundWorkflow interruptions are common in the emergency department (ED) of the hospitals for physicians, leading to an increased risk of errors.PurposeThis study aims to understand the baseline activities of the ED doctors and how these are affected by workflow interruptions.MethodsThe study was conducted in two phases to collect the doctor’s perspective (through questionnaire survey) and observer’s perspective (through workflow observation study) about ED doctors’ baseline activities and workflow interru… Show more

“…In the current digital age, innovation in the medical industry can be achieved through the digitalization of medical *Corresponding Author Email: mmkasar@bvucoep.edu.in (M. Kasar) processes [5]. One of the most pressing issues in the medical industry is the workload on the doctors [6] and the unaffordable consultation cost [7]. This issue is highlighted mainly in the disease prediction with the symptoms of the patients as input.…”

“…Thus, the healthcare industry thrives on innovation to make logistics efficient [1]. The current general paradigm is mostly dependent on the existence of symptoms and interpersonal cummunication [2].The rapid expansion of medical data necessitates the development of effective analytic methods in order to glean insightful information and promote early disease identification. In this regard, the ultimate objective of our research is to create a comprehensive illness prediction platform in order to overcome the difficulties related to late disease diagnosis.…”

“…Implementing a new process into any medical setting is difficult, but implementation into the fast paced, high acuity, continuously active ED setting is especially challenging. ED patient care activities are continuous and concurrent, so any new process initially requires a higher cognitive load for staff, can increase interruptions, and detracts from time spent on other types of patient care 5–7 . Additionally, patients in the ED are the most heterogenous of any medical setting, so new processes often are not applicable to all patients.…”

“…ED patient care activities are continuous and concurrent, so any new process initially requires a higher cognitive load for staff, can increase interruptions, and detracts from time spent on other types of patient care. [5][6][7] Additionally, patients in the ED are the most heterogenous of any medical setting, so new processes often are not applicable to all patients. For instance, screening all older adults for fall risk may not apply to patients in nursing homes who already have fall risk precautions in place or to patients who are non-ambulatory.…”
