This study analyzed potential problems that occur during the nursing work for the purpose of improving the nurse experience. Because the nurse work is immediately feedback on the patient safety, the working environment of a nurse is very important. However, the nurse experiences workload due to interruption and communication. Therefore, the study should be conducted to improve efficiency and minimize errors in the nursing work associated with patient safety. The observational study was conducted on a total of 9 nurses with the duty (Day, Evening, Night). The nursing work was recorded by the eye-tracker, and the video (56.65 hours) was collected. Based on the observational study data, the framework for analysis of interruption and communication was established to analyze the workload. In addition, based on the nurse experience (task, environment, and organization), the errors and inefficient tasks were derived. Finally, 7 key Pain-points were identified. Nurse journey maps were used to visualize the discovered potential problems of the nursing work, and service blueprints were drawn up to explore opportunities for improvement on processes of complex wards. This study can be used as a basic data for building a system for a nurse centered design for improving patient safety. Besides, based on the results of this study, the medical institutions will be able to provide for the quality of medical services.
