Description
Summary:Medical students and house officers communicate important information about their patients through the OCP whereby a patient's story is filtered, organized and presented in a concise manner to generate a diagnostic impression and appropriate plan.

The interruptions were categorized as follows: interruptions by faculty members who were being presented to (85%), questions by nursing and/or medical staff (8%), phone calls (5%), ECG interpretation (1%), and orders on other patients (1%).
