Abstract:
This project was an initial attempt to help nonnurses who will potentially work in the health care field to gain an understanding of the impact of distractions and interruptions on nurses. Graduate students in the Institute for Health Care Improvement Open School participated in an unfolding simulation in a hospital setting to expose them to the challenges of providing care in a work environment that often includes multiple interruptions.
