Workflow barriers and strategies to reduce antibiotic overuse in nursing homes.
Antibiotic overuse is a significant problem in nursing homes (NHs). Strategies to improve antibiotic prescribing practices in NHs are a critical need. In this study, the investigators analyzed antibiotic prescribing workflows to identify strategies for improving antibiotic prescribing in NHs. They found that such strategies included structured information tools, nurse and prescriber education, and organizational improvement.

Just-in-time simulation to guide workflow design for coronavirus disease 2019 difficult airway management.
This paper describes the development and enactment of a number of simulation exercises, increasing in complexity for clinicians to practice intubation of critically ill children while wearing personal protective equipment due to coronavirus disease. The simulations ended up aiding in a real-life situation that then occurred less than 12 hours later that validated potential failure points and effectiveness of rapidly generated guidance. From this simulation a COVID-19 airway bundle template was created.

Impact of flow disruptions in the delivery room.
The goal of this study was to identify the impact of flow disruptions during neonatal resuscitation and to determine their association with key process and outcome measures. Delivery-room resuscitations of neonates less 32 weeks gestational age were video recorded for observation. Results showed that flow disruptions occurred frequently during neonatal resuscitation and recommendations included measuring flow disruptions as a feasible method to assess the impact of human factors in the delivery room and to identify modifiable factors and practices to improve patient care.

Indicators of workplace burnout among physicians, advanced practice clinicians, and staff in small to medium-sized primary care practices.
The goal of this study was to examine whether individual behaviors and attitudes towards major disruptive change has an effect on workplace burnout. Using surveys from healthcare professionals, researchers’ findings showed workplace burnout reported by 31.6% of physicians, 17.2% of advanced practice clinicians, 18.9% of clinical support staff, and 17.5% of administrative staff, with all healthcare professional groups having high levels of anxiety. Providers who experienced higher levels of anxiety and withdrawal were more than three times as likely to report burnout compared to those who experienced low levels in these domains.

Definition and coordination of roles and responsibilities among cancer center clinic and research personnel.
This survey looked at how cancer center clinic and research personnel define their roles and responsibilities. A survey was developed that incorporated modified components of the Survey of Physician Attitudes Regarding the Care of Cancer Survivors and was administered to clinic nursing staff and research personnel at a National Cancer Institute-designated comprehensive cancer center. Surveys were completed by 105 staff members (50 research staff, 55 clinic staff, 61% response rate). Research staff were more likely to feel that they had the skills to answer questions, convey information, and provide education for patients. Less than one-third of clinic and research staff reported ever receiving communication about responsibilities. There was also substantial variation in the preferred model for delivery to care of patients in clinical trials.

Provider preference in exam room layout design and computing.
This study examined the impact of electronic health records (EHRs) on exam room design which would make it easier for providers to promote flexibility, mobility, and body orientation directed towards the patient. Semistructured interviews with 28 providers was conducted and the interviews were audio recorded and transcribed for analysis. Flexibility in sharing the computer screen with patients was an important theme as well as exam room layout, exam room computing and provider workflow.

Contextual barriers to communication between physicians and nurses about appropriate catheter use.
This study identified contextual barriers to communication between physicians and nurses that contribute to inappropriate use of catheters and increased risk of health care-associated infections. The researchers conducted individual and small-group semistructured interviewed with physicians and nurses in a progressive care unit of an academic hospital. Common barriers included workflow misalignment between clinicians, issues with electronic medical records and pagers, and strained relationships between clinicians.

Minor flow disruptions, traffic-related factors and their effect on major flow disruptions in the operating room.
This study researched the impact of minor flow disruptions (FDs) on operating room (OR) flow and how it contributes to an increase in serious adverse events. The rate of minor FDs increases the rate of major FDs. More major and minor FDs occur in the anesthesia area than in all other OR areas. They concluded that room design and layout issues contribute to those FDs and that is an important consideration in OR design.

The effects of discrete work shifts on a nonterminating service system.
The authors showed that in emergency departments (EDs), the patients’ rate of service completion varies over the course of the physician shift. Furthermore, patients that have experienced a physician handoff have a higher rate of service completion than non-handed-off patients. The authors also demonstrated that patients that have been handed off are more likely to revisit the ED within three days, which suggests that patient handoffs lower clinical quality. Finally, the authors used simulation to demonstrate that shift length and new‐patient cutoff rules can be used to reduce handoffs, but at the expense of system throughput.

Contextual conditions and performance improvement in primary care.
This study examined organizational features of primary care clinics that had gone through Lean redesigns and had experienced the greatest performance improvements. They surveyed 1333 physicians and staff in 43 primary care clinics across a large primary care system. They found that clinics with prior experience with quality improvement had the highest increases in efficiency. Clinics reporting the highest levels of burnout and work stress before the redesign also made efficiency gains. Physician productivity gains was associated with a history of change, staff participation and leadership support. The greatest improvements in patient satisfaction occurred where there was the lowest stress levels with highest levels of teamwork, staff engagement and leadership support.

Improving patient safety and clinician workflow in the general care setting with enhanced surveillance monitoring.
This researched analyzed the impact of implementing an improved clinical monitoring system with enhanced surveillance. This enhanced monitoring system was shown to improve patient safety and clinical workflow in inpatient hospital settings. After implementation higher staff satisfaction was shown and reduced average vital signs data collection time by 28%. It improved the availability and accuracy of patient information. However, there was little or no impact on clinical alarms.

From policy statement to practice: integrating social needs screening and referral assistance with community health workers in an urban academic health center.
The authors described their experience implementing a novel social needs screening program at an academic pediatric clinic. They found that, on average, 76% of providers had their patients screened on more than half of eligible well-child visits. Their experience suggested that screening for social needs at well-child visits is feasible as part of routine primary care. They recommended that success would best be achieved by leveraging resources, obtaining provider buy-in, and defining program components to sustain activities.

Sensor-based measurement of critical care nursing workload: Unobtrusive measures of nursing activity complement traditional task and patient level indicators of workload to predict perceived exertion.
The purpose of this study was to establish the validity of sensor-based measures of work processes for predicting perceived mental and physical exertion of critical care nurses. Environmental sensors worn by staff in a surgical intensive care unit captured work process data. Nurses rated their mental and physical exertion for each four-hour block, and recorded patient and staffing-level workload factors. Analysis of this data yielded highly predictive models of critical care nursing workload to generate insights into workflow and work design. The researchers conclude that sensor-based measures are a viable complement to traditional task demand measures of workload.

Understanding emergency medicine physicians multitasking behaviors around interruptions.
Interruptions can adversely impact human performance, particularly in fast-paced and high-risk environments such as the emergency department (ED). In this paper, the investigators present a comprehensive framework for understanding interruptions that is composed of three phases, each with multiple levels: interruption start transition, interruption engagement, and interruption end transition. This three-phase framework is not constrained to discrete task transitions, providing a robust method to categorize multitasking behaviors around interruptions. They apply this framework in categorizing 457 interruption episodes.

Emergency physicians' perceived influence of EHR use on clinical workflow and performance metrics.
In this article, the authors investigated the perceived effects of electronic health record (EHR) use on clinical workflow and meaningful use (MU) performance metrics. The investigators concluded that physicians' perception of EHRs was likely to influence their practices. They suggested that with negative perceptions of EHR usability problems, positive aspects of EHR use, including the influence on MU performance metrics, may be overridden.

Simple workflow changes enable effective patient identity matching in poison control.
In this study, to increase the documentation of patient identifiers by the Utah Poison Control Center (PCC), the authors (1) adapted documentation practices to enable more complete and consistent documentation, and (2) implemented staff training to improve collection of identifiers. The investigators found that compared with the same time period in 2016, the Utah PCC showed an increase of 27% (p < 0.001) in collection of birth date for cases referred to a health care facility, while improvements in the collection of other identifiers ranged from 0 to 8%.

The impact of operating room layout on circulating nurse's work patterns and flow disruptions: a behavioral mapping study.
The purpose of this study was to assess how the adjacencies of functionally different areas within operating rooms (ORs) can influence the circulating nurse's (CN) workflow patterns and disruptions. The investigators video recorded and thematically coded a convenience sample of 25 surgeries for CN's activities, locations, and flow disruptions. The investigators suggest that optimum adjacencies should be considered while designing ORs such that they are more efficient and safer.

Are you paying attention? Related guidance on how concepts of attention may inform effective time sharing of tasks in emergency medicine.
The authors respond to an earlier article providing a thoughtful introduction to the importance of teaching effective task switching in emergency medicine. Their letter introduces the concept of attention, provides examples of tasks that can be most safely and effectively time shared, and notes that these principles must be considered in designing tools for the time sharing and rapid switching of tasks necessary in the ED environment.
