Podcast #201: Task Interruption

Podcast #201: Task Interruption

Author: Mark Kozlowski M.D.

Educational Pearls:

  • Humans cannot "multitask" effectively - a more accurate term is "task interruption."
  • When doing more than one task at once, we are more likely to forget key details and perform both tasks more slowly overall.
  • Do not interrupt people who are focusing on critical tasks - programming a pump or drawing up doses.
  • Think about ways to reduce task interruption in your hospital for a better clinical practice.
