Workload and Movement Patterns of Healthcare Providers in the Pediatric Cardiac ICU
Read more: Workload and Movement Patterns of Healthcare Providers in the Pediatric Cardiac ICUICU workload impacts patient care and outcomes, and may be modified by staff movement and perceived workload and stress. In collaboration with researchers at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta and Emory University, we perform a comprehensive analysis of how workload and physical-cognitive burden on staff impacts patient care and outcomes.
