COGNITIVE LOAD IN CLINICIANS – Opportunities to Ease the Burden

White Paper by Kathy S. Menefee, DNP, RN, NEA-BC, CPHQ

Caregivers are any hospital or health system’s greatest resource.  And as care delivery becomes increasingly complex, they face the numerous challenges of managing higher patient loads, multiple systems and processes—while at the same time trying to deal with unpredictable staffing and competing priorities. To accomplish what’s needed under this amount of pressure, they face an enormous cognitive load, which, if it becomes too high, can negatively impact patient care.

However, if visualization tools are effectively integrated, they can serve as a powerful asset to help reduce the impacts of cognitive load—resulting in:

  • Increased efficiency
  • Better care
  • Healthier caregivers
  • Positive Patient Experience
