Overview

The problems related to clinical distractions have grown in a brief amount of time. In addition to the expended use of electronic medical records, handheld technologies, and AI, staffing issues are reaching crisis levels. There is a considerable threat to patient safety, professional performance, and wellness. This book exposes the breadth or risks covered in the previous edition while expanding into new topics. The team of authors represents a diverse group of experts that offer different perspectives. Distracted Doctoring is written for physicians, including anesthesiologists, surgeons and general practitioners, PAs, NPs, nurses, pharmacists, technologists, other members of the health care team (clinical and non-clinical), researchers, health care administrators and students.
