Involving Health Care Professionals in the Development of Electronic Health Records: Scoping Review
(2023)
Electronic health records (EHRs) are a promising approach to document and map (complex) health information gathered in health care worldwide. However, possible unintended consequences during use, which can occur owing to low usability or the lack of adaption to existing workflows (eg, high cognitive load), may pose a challenge. To prevent this, the involvement of users in the development of EHRs is crucial and growing. Overall, involvement is designed to be very multifaceted, for example, in terms of the timing, frequency, or even methods used to capture user preferences. Setting, users and their needs, and the context and practice of health care must be considered in the design and subsequent implementation of EHRs. Many different approaches to user involvement exist, each requiring a variety of methodological choices. The aim of the study was to provide an overview of the existing forms of user involvement and the circumstances they need and to provide support for the planning of new involvement processes. We conducted a scoping review to provide a database for future projects on which design of inclusion is worthwhile and to show the diversity of reporting. Using a very broad search string, we searched the PubMed, CINAHL, and Scopus databases. In addition, we searched Google Scholar. Hits were screened according to scoping review methodology and then examined, focusing on methods and materials, participants, frequency and design of the development, and competencies of the researchers involved. In total, 70 articles were included in the final analysis. There was a wide range of methods of involvement. Physicians and nurses were the most frequently included groups and, in most cases, were involved only once in the process. The approach of involvement (eg, co-design) was not specified in most of the studies (44/70, 63%). Further qualitative deficiencies in the reporting were evident in the presentation of the competences of members of the research and development teams. Think-aloud sessions, interviews, and prototypes were frequently used. This review provides insights into the diversity of health care professionals’ involvement in the development of EHRs. It provides an overview of the different approaches in various fields of health care. However, it also shows the necessity of considering quality standards in the development of EHRs together with future users and the need for reporting this in future studies.
Background: Establishing a healthy lifestyle has a great potential to reduce the prevalence of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and their risk factors. NCDs contribute immensely to the economic costs of the health care system arising from therapy, medication use, and productivity loss.
Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of the Healthy Lifestyle Community Program (cohort 2; HLCP-2) on medication use and consequently on medication costs for selected NCDs (diabetes, hypertension, and dyslipidemia).
Methods: Data stem from a 24-month non-randomised, controlled intervention trial aiming to improve risk factors for NCDs. Participants completed questionnaires at six measurement time points assessing medication use, from which costs were calculated. The following medication groups were included in the analysis as NCD medication: glucose-lowering medications (GLM), antihypertensive drugs (AHD) and lipid-lowering drugs (LLD). Statistical tests for inter- and intra-group comparison and multiple regression analysis were performed.
Results: In total, 118 participants (intervention group [IG]: n = 79; control group [CG]: n = 39) were considered. Compared to baseline medication use decreased slightly in the IG and increased in the CG. Costs for NCD medication were significantly lower in the IG than in the CG after 6 (p = 0.004), 12 (p = 0.040), 18 (p = 0.003) and 24 months (p = 0.008). After multiple regression analysis and adjusting for confounders, change of costs differed significantly between the groups in all final models.
Conclusion: The HLCP-2 was able to moderately prevent an increase of medication use and thus reduce costs for medication to treat NCDs with the greatest impact on AHD.
Die Bedeutung des Einsatzes von Verfahren, die unter dem Begriff der Künstlichen Intelligenz (KI) zusammenzufassen sind, wird sowohl für gesellschaftliche Prozesse als auch den Auftrag an die Soziale Arbeit zunehmend erkannt und diskutiert. Mit diesem Artikel wird ein Beitrag zum Diskurs geleistet, indem vertieft der Bereich der Sprachverarbeitung durch KI, das Natural Language Processing (NLP), in den Blick genommen wird. Verarbeitung natürlicher Sprache ist aufgrund der hohen Bedeutung kommunikativer Prozesse für die Praxis der Sozialen Arbeit von besonderer Relevanz, zugleich wird die Profession der Sozialen Arbeit tangiert. Bezugnehmend auf Staub-Bernasconis Handlungstheorie werden Implikationen und Diskussionspunkte von NLP identifiziert und diskutiert. Zudem werden mögliche Gratifikationen für Klient*innen herausgearbeitet, die sich u. a. aus der Wirkung und sozialen Interaktion ergeben. Hier wird die Media-Equation-Theorie von Nass und Reeves als Erkenntnisfolie herangezogen. Vor diesen Perspektiven ergeben sich sowohl Risiken (u. a. die Gefahr einer modularisierten Herauslösung genuin sozialarbeiterischer Tätigkeit) als auch Chancen (u. a. Teilhabe, niederschwelliger Zugang, Zugriff auf breitere Datenbasis).
Fürther Gespräche: Expertenforum für den Rettungsdienst mit Forderungen an Politik und Gesellschaft
(2023)
Die rettungsdienstliche Versorgung, die Rettungsfachkräfteausbildung und die rechtlichen Vorraussetzungen in Deutschland bieten aktuell keine guten Rahmenbedingungen für die Zukunft. Ein Expertenforum mit deutschlandweiten Akteuren aus Wissenschaft, Bildung und Rettungsdienst diskutierten im Rahmen der Fürther Gespräche die Herausforderungen der Professionalisierung und der Kompetenzentwicklung des Rettungsdienstes und der präklinischen Versorgung in Deutschland. Die zentralen Ergebnisse und Schwerpunktthemen wurden in 7 Thesen zusammengefasst und konkrete Lösungsansätze entwickelt. Das Spannungsfeld umfasst hierbei die Anforderungen und Versorgungsbedarfe, die Prävention und erweiterte Versorgungskomponenten, die Digitalisierungsstrategie, integrierte Leitstellen und vernetzte Gesundheitsdienstleistungen, Personalentwicklung und -bindung sowie Qualifikationsniveaus und Notarztqualifikation.
