Executive summary
Distraction and interruption can impact the flow of work and also impact performance.
The aim of present study is to understand to understand the impact of distraction on service
provider, nurses etc so that they can deliver quality of care to patient with proper safety. Reason
for selecting this topic is that it is one of the major healthcare concern. Patient safety is important
for the firm and there are various type of issues which can be faced while providing care.
Distraction can be improved in order to develop communication skills of doctor, nurse etc. All
the three studies focused on providing impact of distraction for patient safety in health and social
care. Effective services assist in reducing the chances of error and mishap which can be occurred
art the time of providing care. From the study it is analysed that there are many health care
organisations who do not undertake any of the action due to which patients unable to received
quality services. Interruption and distraction lead to impact the way of working. It is important to
use effective method in health and care organisation at the time of providing services. Second
article was based on a mixed systematic literature review in which total 24 studies were
identified. Among them 16 are quantitative and 8 qualitative. From the primary research article,
people need to provide services without any interruption. Music and teaching junior colleagues
were also mentioned as potential sources of distractions, albeit on a smaller scale. At last in study
which is based on organisational context provide wide range of information related to the
significance of minimizing interruption and distraction. There are most of the health care
professionals who understand importance of provide effective services in order to ensure patient
safety
Introduction
Error and mishap are common in-patient care and it is unavoidable in the light of the
growing complexity of health service provision. In health and social care safety of patient is
important so that they can improve their health and live quality life. play significant role in order
to avoid any kind of error while providing services to patients. Along with this, it also helps in
improving the quality of care. It has been noticed that safety of patient is become one of the
major healthcare concern in health care organisations. Patient safety is the important part of
modern healthcare services as it assists in improving quality of care. Error can be occurred but in
recent year evidence has shows that errors which can affect the services users are more common.

The aim of present study is to understand significance of reducing distraction to service provider,
nurses etc so that they can deliver quality of care to patient with proper safety. Reason for
selecting this topic is that it is one of the major healthcare concern. Patient safety education
focuses on the acquisition of knowledge, skills and attitude for supporting a changing behaviour
in order to deliver safe care. Patient safety principles includes non technical skills that are not
discipline specific and it is applicable to all healthcare professionals. Distraction and interruption
are common on the health care setting. Distraction also lead to create impact on the development
of critical incidents. In order to ensure that all patient received quality services it is important to
avoid any kind of distraction while providing treatment
Analysis
The first article which is analysed is based on primary research which is conducted by
Arfanis, Campbell and Smith, (2012). Under this study one to one interview was conducted with
different educations experts within NHS and international focus. A semi-structures interview was
conducted with consultant anaesthetist. Questions were focused on type of distraction at various
stages.
Result of the interview revealed that reducing distraction strategies not adopted by
healthcare professional on time. However, some of them received section related to learn
effective strategies but they cannot access. In this research all the information is analysed
through qualitative analysis techniques. All the experts who are selected for the research are
based on previous project expertise. The interview was conducted in semi-structured manner and
directed by HEE. In order to analyse the result of survey a single CHP fellow has reviewed all
the collected information two times. Furthermore, this research was free from bias and any type
of error. All the ethics are considered while conducting a research which help in making research
more authentic and effective. Analysis of the study was undertaken by single CHP fellow who
can introduce bias on the analysis process. While providing more time, a second fellow could
have repeated similar efforts and if any different which is identified in the interpretation can be
resigned. All the information provided by respondents was kept confidential and safely so that
data cannot be loss. From the result provided by respondents it is clearly analysed that there are
many healthcare organisations who do not consider evaluation of effectiveness reducing
distraction. There are various types of reducing distraction method which is suggested by
respondents that could be effective such as Not getting involved in tasks which do not need an
4

anaesthetist and Learning to manage one's attention. Further it is analysed that most of the
respondents are utilising simulation in their method (McCurdie, Sanderson and Aitken, 2017).
There are some barriers which are faced by employees. According to them health care
professional are main sources of distraction. At last few recommendations was provided by
author in its study. It is recommended that effective techniques need to be included in every
organisation. Quality can improve skills and knowledge of health professionals and it is related
with the improvement in the process of providing care to patients. In a research process it is
observed that there are some challenges which are faced while implementing reducing distraction
strategies. There are many health care organisations in which not enough time is provide to
ensure patient safety. Along with this quality of trainer is also not appropriate, as there is proper
trainer are required who can trained staff members. To provide importance to teaching quality,
investment to strengthen capabilities of the teaching staff are noticed. There are large number of
respondent who think that lack of protected time is one of the barrier for accessing the quality
services which was available in their health and care organisation. It is essential that strategies
should be adopted.
Second article which is considered for analysis is based on secondary research. It is
published by Rivera-Rodriguez and Karsh, (2010). The entire study was based on a mixed
systematic literature review in which total 24 studies were identified. Among them 16 are
quantitative and 8 qualitative. In this study focus is on developing knowledge related to the
improving patient outcomes through effective. At the time of evaluating the effectiveness of
reducing distraction outcomes play significant role. In this research scholar has used search
strategy in which searches were made of databases Scopus, CEBTRAL, ERIC and PsyNET for
publication in between 2009 to 2014. There are different filters which are also included such as
inclusion and exclusion criteria. The present study was effective enough in order to understand
the significance reducing distraction strategies provided to healthcare professionals within the
firm. In quantitative studies there are sample 16 studies described distraction experience with
MPHs, who were mostly general practitioner or nurses (Weigl, Antoniadis and Sevdalis, 2015).
There was great heterogeneity in outcomes reducing distraction methods that has prevent meta
analysis. services which are received by MPH. are classified in two categories that are web-based
and individual. Group distraction strategy was preferring in order to develop communication
skills of doctor, nurse etc. Improvement in skills were noted at the time when reducing
5

distraction strategies is used to provide mental health nurses. From the individual there was less
methodological variation as compare to the group intervention. After reviewing this result, it is
analysed that reducing distraction strategies can be effective in respect to improve both patient
and trainee outcome in different studies. A large number of attention rate from the literature
review is put on fact that strategies help in developing understanding related to the way patient
can be provided treatment. The points which is summarised from main finding is that individual
distraction can be improved quality of care. It leads to provide few opportunities for feedback
and increase the chance of inconsistences in practice. Professional change from this type of
reducing distraction alone is unlikely can be permanent with a short period of study. However, it
leads to foster a passion for work which can motivate future efforts. On the other side in
qualitative studies all the information which is extracted with the use of meta-ethnographic. All
the notions were identified from authors original findings. All the themes and sub themes are
organised with the use of thematic synthesis methods. While selecting sample there were total
eight studies selected with the use of inclusion criteria. There is some positive impact of use of
distraction reducing method on both patient as well as employees. Treatment of patient is
depended on the basis of particular skill of staff members (Vaisman and Wu, 2017).
Recommendations arise from the following study is that TRAINNIG provided to employees
required to be combined with the individualised feedback where possible for minimising
inconsistencies in practice. Furthermore, short time TRAINNIG alone is unlikely to generate
continued skills change but it can increase work related learning which can be translated into a
job-based motivation.
Third and last study which is considered is based on research which is conducted on
NHS. The aim of this study is to research on the way keeping patient safe from errors and any
mishaps. In order to carry out research in an effective manner all the ethics are consider in an
effective manner. As the main ethical approval was obtained from Newcastle and North
Tyneside local research ethics committee (Sanderson and Grundgeiger, 2015). Along with tis all
the selected participants are voluntary. Multiple qualitative method was considered as a research
design for this investigation. Information is collected from key document and study is covered in
two stages. First one is related to the overview of the patient safety curricula in UK. Second one
is detailed case study. In each and ever stage data collection instruments were designed and
refined before use. Interview schedule was undertaken with the people who are considered in this
6

study. All the interview was audio recorded and transcribed. Methods which are used for second
step is based on organisational context. To analysed the collected study all the organisational
documents were gathered. In data collection method it includes all the organisational document
and interview with organisational representative which is related with the patient safety. These
both type of information is collected and analysed properly. The interview was conducted for 30
minutes. From the entire study it is analysed that in NHS reducing distraction strategies is
provided to employees in order to make sure patient safety (Slagle, Porterfield and Weinger,
2018). In the health and social organisation patient safety is become one of the major concern
and it is important to ensure that each and every employee within the firm get treated in an
effective manner. In the research ethics are strictly followed so that research can become reliable
and valid. There is no strong evidence provided related to the way through which patient safety
can be improved with the help of strategies (Sevdalis, Undre and Smith, 2014). From many
researches it is analysed that education and distraction removing program provided help in
improving the safety of patients. Patient safety is one of number one concern for those who
provide treatment to patient in the NHS. If patient safety are not considered by NHS then it
affects overall services. As people may not like to take services from if they are not safe at that
place. All the distraction are divided on the basis of categorisation system which is adopted from
the work of classmates (Werner and Holden, 2015). Patient safety is complex area with a wide
range of focussed tool and cultured theory. Distracting is classified into three that that are
potential distraction interruption and distraction. Further in an innovative approach of reducing
distraction lead to includes simulation in which all professional groups are trained and learn
together the way to improve safety of their collective work (Grundgeiger, Dekker and Aitken,
2016). Apart from this within the health and social care organisation there are significant
changes take place and it is essential to adopt them on time. With the help of simulation
approach there is chance to reduce error which can occur while providing treatment.
Conclusion
From the above report it is concluded that patient safety is important concern for health
care organisation. If healthcare professional, nurses and staff members are well trained then they
can easily deliver quality services to service users. There are different types of strategies facility
which can be provided to healthcare profession while carrying out their education and post
graduation. It plays significant role as it help in reducing the chances of error which can occur
7

while carrying out work. Two methods which are proven effective are known as ignored people
and being organised. This both method play significant role in health and care organisation at the
time of providing services. Further it is concluded that, methods help in enhancing the skills and
knowledge of employees. Along with this it makes them enough capable to handle any kind of
situation within the firm. In the improvement in safety require d across the board a radical
change in the teaching of medicine. It is observed that being organised is widespread. It leads to
provide valid outcome and develop knowledge in different aspects.
