Cluttered screens can have several negative impacts on patient care:
Increased Risk of Errors: Critical information can get lost in the clutter, leading to potential medication errors or missed alerts. Time Inefficiency: Nurses may spend more time navigating screens to find necessary information, reducing the time available for direct patient care. Cognitive Overload: Excessive information can overwhelm nurses, impacting their decision-making abilities and increasing stress levels. Patient Dissatisfaction: Delays and errors in care due to cluttered screens can lead to patient dissatisfaction and reduced trust in healthcare providers.
