may be owing to the increased engagement of the participants as patient information is more likely derived from the presentation when the electronic medical record becomes less accessible.The increased ability to hear patient presentations was likely because of the concurrent reduction in simultaneous conversations, as well as a noticeable change with the arrangement of the rounding group becoming more compact.The association of these changes with efficiency or clinical outcomes was not monitored.Limitations include the potential for a Hawthorne effect 4 and a change in the residents during the study period.Alternative technologies should be identified that optimize human-computer interactions and facilitate effective communication.
