Brain Impact
eHRs, CPOEs and MU … oh my!
If you have a moment, take a break from what you’re doing to look at this infographic on how multitasking induced stress impacts our brains.
Synopsis
Here are some of the findings in brief:

- The average computer user checks 40 websites a day, switching between programs 36 times an hour.
- 61% of adults admit to being addicted to the internet.
