Abstract
Methods, computer systems, and computer readable media for reducing disruptions to a clinician during medication administration are provided. An input is received indicating that the medication-administration process has been initiated by the clinician. The medication-administration process is associated with one patient in a clinical care room. Incident to receiving this input, the clinician is prevented from receiving messages concerning patients and other matters not related to the one patient in the clinical care room. In addition, one or more visual indicators are provided to alert other clinicians, patients, and visitors that the clinician has begun the medication-administration process.
