The purpose of this study was to identify the types and nature of interruptions nurses described pre- and postimplementation of a point-of-care medication administration system. This was a secondary analysis of qualitative data originally collected by other researchers from 40 hospital-based RNs. The analysis indicated that nurses described fewer interruptions postimplementation, and the nature of the interruptions differed pre- and postimplementation. Quality nursing care can be improved by a point-of-care medication administration system. Areas for quality improvement are identified.
