Task interruptions from the perspective of work functions: The development of an observational tool applied to inpatient hospital care in France The Team'IT tool.

ABSTRACT:

Background

In France, hospital units responsible for providing inpatient care have few opportunities to address the issue of task interruptions. In Australia, the Dual Perspectives Method (DMP) has been developed to assess interruptions. The method makes it possible to link teamwork and interruptions, by considering the work functions that constitute the system.

Objective

To develop a tool that can characterize interruptions from the point of view of work functions that is tailored to French hospital units providing inpatient care. The aim was to adapt the items recorded using the DPM and their response categories, and to study the acceptability of observing interruptions for participating teams.

Method

The items recorded in the DPM were translated and adapted taking
