New technologies have increased the number and types of distractions in these settings. The Pennsylvania Patient Safety Authority identified 1,015 reports that could be attributed to distraction. The majority of these events were classified as medication errors (59.6%) or errors related to procedures, treatments or tests (27.8%). Nearly all events were reported as Incidents or near misses.
