Sedated with diazepam to do scan,

error reduction

How Emergency Clinicians Think
We practice within the disorder of a busy ED Potential for system errors
We clinicians must in addition deal with the potential for intrinsic errors
![Page 23: Case presentation](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062513/555e66c2d8b42a71048b4af7/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

Sources of error
High levels of diagnostic uncertainty; "Decision density," or the volume of decisions that
are made in a given amount of time; A high amount of cognitive load needed to process
the large volume of data; Narrow time windows for patient assessment; Multiple care transitions for any given patient; A multitude of interruptions and distractions
throughout the thought process.

Physician Interruptions
■ Emergency physicians are interrupted 30.7 times in every 180-minute cycle (1)
■ They experience 20.7 “breaks in task” per cycle (1)■ EPs are interrupted 9.7 times per hour while office-based physicians
are interrupted 3.9 times per hour (2)■ Emergency clinicians spend two-thirds of their time managing
multiple patients (three or more) While office physicians spend less than one minute per hour managing multiple patients ( 2)

Multi-Tasking Makes You Stupid
![Page 29: Case presentation](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062513/555e66c2d8b42a71048b4af7/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Multi-Tasking Makes You Stupid A study at Carnegie Mellon University. Doing several things at once reduces the brainpower a person
can devote to each task… Researchers asked subjects to listen to sentences while
comparing two rotating objects Although these tasks use different parts of the brain, the
resources available for processing visual input dropped 29% While brain resources for listening dropped 53 % The results were worse when the two tasks used the same part
of the brain
