You have touched on many of the key issues here. Clearly, cell phones in the clinical area can help or hurt patient care.
But can you think of one place where you would expect staff to be completely “on task†and vigilant, without the distraction of a cell phone? Would that place be the Operating Room? Nurse anesthetists share the view that the OR is a time and place for full attention, and yet it too has its distractions from noise, alarms and personal devices. The article below is a very nice condensed history of the research into the impact of personal electronic devices on patient safety and a review of the current literature on the subject.
A couple of highlights:
A 2012 Pew Research Study found:
50 % of the respondents to their study had bumped someone due to distraction with cell phones
