Association of interruptions with an increased risk and severity of medication administration errors.
Westbrook JI, Woods A, Rob MI, Dunsmuir WT, Day RO. Westbrook JI, et al. Arch Intern Med. 2010 Apr 26;170(8):683-90. doi: 10.1001/archinternmed.2010.65. Arch Intern Med. 2010. PMID: 20421552
BACKGROUND: Interruptions have been implicated as a cause of clinical errors, yet, to our knowledge, no empirical studies of this relationship exist. We tested the hypothesis that interruptions during medication administration increase errors. ...Interruption …
