Workarounds are ways invented by users to bypass the system to accomplish a task; usually indicate a
poor fit of the system or technology to the workflow or user; devised methods to beat a system that does
not function appropriately or is not suited to the task it was developed to assist with (McGonigle &
Mastrian, 2018, p. 584). Workarounds negate expected practice protocols and are rarely necessary or
appropriate means to ensure patient safety.
Longevity is defined as usability beyond the immediate clinical encounter (McGonigle & Mastrian, 2018, p.
570).

Communication systems improve productivity to promote interaction among healthcare providers and
between providers and patients. Healthcare professionals overwhelmingly recognize the value of these
systems to promote data and information processing. Examples of communication systems include call
light systems, wireless telephones, pagers, email, and instant messaging, which have traditionally been
forms of communication targeted at clinicians (McGonigle & Mastrian, 2018, p. 190).
