Article Synopsis
- Diagnostic errors significantly affect patient well-being, and while physicians often face interruptions, there's no concrete evidence linking these interruptions to diagnostic mistakes.
- Three experiments were conducted with internal medicine residents, testing how different types of interruptions (unrelated tasks and medically relevant ones) impact diagnostic accuracy and the time taken to complete tasks.
- The results showed that interruptions did not significantly affect diagnostic accuracy, although they did generally lead to longer time spent finishing tasks, with one instance of statistical significance noted only in the second experiment.
