They are constantly occurring in central pharmacies within hospitals, and are a major distraction to the pharmacists who are working on vital tasks to prepare and dispense medications. An interruption is considered to be anything that makes the pharmacist stop their work to focus on a different task. This observational research project recorded the interruptions in central pharmacy of a large hospital.

Interruptions leading to distractions can cause errors as these interruptions can distract the pharmacy workers from their tasks. Hence it is important to study interruptions, their types, how they are caused, where they come from, when they occur, how long they last, and how pharmacists and technicians feel about them. The objectives of this observational study were to: 1) classify interruptions based on the type of interruption and cause, time, location, and duration, 2) identify differences in interruption types, duration and frequency across days of the week or time of day, and the analysis of these stressors can aid in improving the processes and increasing safety within the pharmacy.

Patient-Centered Medical Home is a care delivery model to transform how primary care is delivered. The information technology revolution has brought about several advancements and solutions for medicine and care delivery, and medical homes are no exception to this. However, it is only through a robust decision support system that these medical homes can in fact provide truly coordinated and patient-centered care. The paper describes preliminary work that has been completed at the University of Missouri Health System and next steps in achieving high quality care delivery through a decision support system implementation.
