So it is impossible for individual doctors to remember all that they need to practise safe care. As a result, doctors need access to evidence-based and continually updated resources that will help them make decisions at the point of care. Many such clinical decision support resources are now available on smartphones and some have an app\u2014enabling offline access. Having reliable knowledge continually available on smartphones seems like a great idea. It can\u2019t have any downsides\u2014can it? <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/?term=Smartphone+use+habits+of+anesthesia+providers+during+anesthetized+patient+care%3A+a+survey+from+Turkey\">Pinar et al have conducted an interesting study<\/a> to explore one potential downside. They looked at s<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">martphone use of anaesthesia providers during anesthetised patient care. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">They found that many anaesthetists used their smartphone during anesthetized patient care. They used their phones to call or text message or surf the net. The vast majority said they never used their phone during critical stages of anaesthesia. Most said that they were never distracted by their smartphone, but many had witnessed their colleagues being distracted. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When I read the study, the first question that I asked myself was whether or not I believed the respondents about being distracted. It is interesting that they thought that they were never distracted even though they thought that their colleagues were. There are a number of potential reasons for this. It may be that the respondents lacked insight into the fact that they were distracted. It may be that they didn\u2019t answer the question about being distracted honestly. It may be that they misjudged the distraction of their colleagues. Perhaps least likely, it may be that they had fantastic ability to multitask that their colleagues did not. On balance, I would go for the first option\u2014that they lacked insight into the fact that they were distracted. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Today we live in an age of distraction. Even as you are reading this personal view, you may be tempted to look at a cute panda bear meme or a video of Ed Sheeran and Saoirse Ronan waving from the top of a house on Long Walk in Galway.<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">My advice is to stick with the article\u2014the really insightful bits are still to come. In giving this advice, I am contributing to the phenomenon the attention economy\u2014where all the emphasis is placed on getting people\u2019s attention for your website and keeping them on it. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">But what if you are grabbing the attention of a doctor who should be looking after their patient? What can we do to prevent that? It is difficult to think of solutions. Should we block doctors\u2019 phones from looking at non-clinical sites? That probably wouldn\u2019t work\u2014people are far too good at finding ways around blocks. Should we ban mobile phones? That definitely wouldn\u2019t work. Should we try to automate certain repetitive tasks that render healthcare professionals prone to distraction? That may be the most realistic option. Clinical decision support resources could be developed so that they could make certain clinical decisions autonomously\u2014according to set algorithms. The healthcare professional would not then be involved in repetitive and predictable tasks. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">What would patients think of their doctor being distracted when they are supposed to be looking after them? I think that they would take a dim view. Most would probably agree with George Kaufman when he said: \u201c<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The kind of doctor that I want is one who, when he\u2019s not examining me, is at home studying medicine.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Kieran Walsh<\/strong> is clinical director of BMJ Learning and BMJ Best Practice.
