2017-2018 ISSR Scholars Project Title: A Novel Approach for Managing Unpreventable Interruptions During the Medication Administration Process

Strategies are needed to decrease the negative effects of interruptions in the healthcare workplace. In this proposal, we seek to evaluate a training program for managing unpreventable interruptions during the medication administration process. The long-term goal of this interruption management program is to decrease the negative consequences of interruptions including medical errors and delays in care and ultimately to improve patient safety.
