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.
