Creating a "Culture of Triage: " A Dual-Perspective Study of Interruptions During ICU Rounds.
To explore interrupters' and interruptees' experiences of interruptions occurring during morning rounds in a PICU in an attempt to understand better how to limit interruptions that threaten patient safety. ⋯ Interrupters and interruptees did not have a shared understanding of the culture of triage within the PICU.
