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 Interest in digital technologies in the health care sector is growing and can be a way to reduce the burden on professional caregivers while helping people to become more independent. Social robots are regarded as a special form of technology that can be usefully applied in professional caregiving with the potential to focus on interpersonal contact. While implementation is progressing slowly, a debate on the concepts and applications of social robots in future care is necessary. OBJECTIVE In addition to existing studies with a focus on societal attitudes toward social robots, there is a need to understand the views of professional caregivers and patients. This study used desired future scenarios to collate the perspectives of experts and analyze the significance for developing the place of social robots in care. METHODS In February 2020, an expert workshop was held with 88 participants (health professionals and educators; [PhD] students of medicine, health care, professional care, and technology; patient advocates; software developers; government representatives; and research fellows) from Austria, Germany, and Switzerland. Using the scenario methodology, the possibilities of analog professional care (Analog Care), fully robotic professional care (Robotic Care), teams of robots and professional caregivers (Deep Care), and professional caregivers supported by robots (Smart Care) were discussed. The scenarios were used as a stimulus for the development of ideas about future professional caregiving. The discussion was evaluated using qualitative content analysis. RESULTS The majority of the experts were in favor of care in which people are supported by technology (Deep Care) and developed similar scenarios with a focus on dignity-centeredness. The discussions then focused on the steps necessary for its implementation, highlighting a strong need for the development of eHealth competence in society, a change in the training of professional caregivers, and cross-sectoral concepts. The experts also saw user acceptance as crucial to the use of robotics. This involves the acceptance of both professional caregivers and care recipients. CONCLUSIONS The literature review and subsequent workshop revealed how decision-making about the value of social robots depends on personal characteristics related to experience and values. There is therefore a strong need to recognize individual perspectives of care before social robots become an integrated part of care in the future.
Approaches to Improvement of Digital Health Literacy (eHL) in the Context of Person-Centered Care
(2022)
The skills, knowledge and resources to search for, find, understand, evaluate and apply health information is defined as health literacy (HL). If individuals want to use health information from the Internet, they need Digital Health Literacy (eHL), which in addition to HL also includes, for example, media literacy. If information cannot be found or understood by patients due to low (e)HL, patients will not have the opportunity to make informed decisions. In addition, many health apps for self-management or prevention also require (e)HL. Thus, it follows that active participation in healthcare, in terms of Person-Centered Care (PCC) is only possible through (e)HL. Currently, there is a great need to strengthen these competencies in society to achieve increased empowerment of patients and their health. However, at the same time, there is a need to train and improve competencies in the field of healthcare professionals so that they can counsel and guide patients. This article provides an overview with a focus on HL and eHL in healthcare, shows the opportunities to adapt services and describes the possible handling of patients with low (e)HL. In addition, the opportunities for patients and healthcare professionals to improve (e)HL are highlighted.
Diese Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit dem Vergleich unterschiedlicher Schulungsmethoden zur Einweisung in neue Medizinprodukte. Hintergrund dieser Arbeit ist die zunehmende Technisierung im Gesundheitswesen, und die daraus resultierenden gesteigerten Anforderungen an das Pflegepersonal. Unterschiedliche Studien aus England, Amerika und Australien zeigen einen übereinstimmenden Trend der behandlungsbedingten Gesundheitsstörungen. Laut dieser Studien werden 60 Prozent der Zwischenfälle in der Medizin durch die fehlerhafte Bedienung medizinisch- technischer Geräte verursacht. Hieraus ergibt sich ein Riskmanagement, dass sich vor allem mit der Frage der Qualifikation und Schulung der Anwender auseinander setzen muss. Diese Arbeit befasst sich mit der Fragestellung, ob es einen messbaren Unterschied in der Effektivität, Effizienz und Zufriedenheit von Schulungsmethoden gibt. Ziel ist es, bestehende Unterschiede deutlich zu machen und Wertigkeiten festzulegen. Zur Erhebung der Daten wurde eine experimentelle Untersuchung mit einer anschließenden Befragung einer Stichprobe durchgeführt. Untersucht wurden die vier Schulungsmethoden: Einweisung durch den Medizinproduktberater, Einweisung durch die Nutzung einer Lernsoftware (E-Learning), Einweisung durch das Lesen der Gebrauchsanweisung und keine Einweisung. Die gewonnenen Daten wurden anhand eines zuvor festgelegten Bewertungsschema ausgewertet und statistisch aufbereitet. Das Bewertungsschema orientiert sich an der DIN EN ISO 9241-11:1998. Hier wird Gebrauchstauglichkeit durch die Kriterien Effektivität, Effizienz und Zufriedenheit operationalisiert. Besonders im Bereich der Effektivität konnte ein signifikantes Ergebnis nachgewiesen werden. Die Einweisung durch den Medizinproduktberater erzielte sowohl im Test, als auch in der Befragung die besten Ergebnisse. Trotz der kleinen Stichprobe kann mit dieser Arbeit auf die Notwendigkeit zur Anwenderschulung geschlossen werden.
Praxisanleitung unter Berücksichtigung des Pflegeberufereformgesetzes - ein Anleitungskonzept
(2019)
Praxisanleitung unter Berücksichtigung des Pflegeberufereformgesetzes – ein Anleitungskonzept
Abstract
Hintergrund: Für die Qualität einer Pflegeausbildung nimmt die Anleitung von Auszubildenden in der Praxis eine wichtige Schlüsselrolle ein. Dennoch existieren bisher kaum Anleitungskonzepte, die an die Realität angepasst sind und die wissenschaftlichen Erkenntnisse mit den Wünschen und Bedürfnissen der Pflegepraxis in Einklang bringen. Diese Arbeit überführt „das Beste“ aus Theorie und Praxis in ein handhabbares Praxisanleitungskonzept, welches die Vorgaben des Pflegeberufegesetzes (PflBG) berücksichtigt.
Methode: Um dem Anspruch eines Praxisanleitungskonzeptes „aus der Praxis für die Praxis“ gerecht zu werden, wurden im Zuge dieser Arbeit leitfadengestützte Interviews mit Praxisanleitern und Auszubildenden aus der Gesundheits- und Krankenpflege, Gesundheits- und Kinderkrankenpflege sowie Altenpflege geführt, diese anhand der qualitativen Inhaltsanalyse nach Mayring ausgewertet und in Abstimmung mit dem theoretischen Wissen zu „guter“ Praxisanleitung in ein praxisnahes Konzept überführt. Diese Berufe wurden vom Verfasser bewusst für die Befragungen gewählt, um alle Berufsgruppen, die mit dem Pflegeberufegesetz zusammengeführt werden, abzubilden.
Ergebnisse: Das neu entwickelte Konzept trägt den Namen „´Total-Support`-Konzept der Praxisanleitung in den Ausbildungsberufen des Pflegeberufegesetzes“. Es geht darum, die Praxisanleitung so zu gestalten, dass alle an der Praxisanleitung beteiligten Personen und Berufsgruppen einerseits die erforderlichen Fähigkeiten und Fertigkeiten auf einem hohen Qualitätsniveau erwerben sowie andererseits die notwendige Unterstützung zum Erreichen dieses Ziels erhalten. Es ist ein Gemeinschaftsprojekt aller Akteure.
Fazit: Bei sachgerechter Anwendung ist davon auszugehen, dass dieses Anleitungskonzept in der Pflegepraxis auf ein hohes Maß an Akzeptanz stößt, die Qualität der praktischen Ausbildung steigert, die Zufriedenheit der involvierten Personen fördert und zur Wertschätzung der Arbeit von Praxisanleitern beiträgt. Dennoch wird sich dieses Konzept vielerorts nur schrittweise implementieren lassen, da gewisse Rahmenbedingungen geschaffen oder verändert werden müssen, um die positiven Effekte nutzbar zu machen.
Das Shaker-Manöver, kräftige Schlucken, Chin-Tuck und Chin-Tuck against resistance sind bereits etablierte und häufig angewendete Schluck-Interventionen in der logopädischen Dysphagie-Rehabilitation. Der Sonntagsschluck (SS) stellt eine Kombination aus diesen Schlucktechniken dar und findet bereits Anwendung im klinischen Kontext. Eine Evaluation dieser logopädischen Intervention im Sinne der evidenzbasierten Praxis steht jedoch noch aus. Die folgende Bachelorarbeit evaluiert daher die Wirkweise des SS auf die schluckre-levante suprahyoidale Muskulatur.
Zur Überprüfung der Wirkweise wurde eine quantitativ-empirische Studie mit einem Within-Gruppen-Design durchgeführt. Insgesamt wurden 33 gesunde ProbandInnen (n = 33) zwi-schen 20 und 39 Jahren in die Datenauswertung aufgenommen. Da der SS mit der Oberflächen-Elektromyographie (SEMG) nicht evaluierbar war, wurde der Löffelschluck (LS), welcher demselben Wirkprinzip folgt, als Alternative eingesetzt. Die suprahyoidale Muskelaktivität und Muskelaktivitätszeit bei dem NS und dem LS wurden mithilfe von SEMG als Outcomes gemessen. Für die Evaluation des SS wurde ein schriftlicher Fragebogen ausgefüllt, der den subjektiv wahrgenommenen Kraftaufwand des NS, LS und SS maß. Die Daten wurden mit SPSS ausgewertet.
Der alternative LS zeigte in der SEMG-Messung eine signifikant höhere Muskelaktivität (p = ,009) und Muskelaktivitätszeit (p = ,000) als der NS. Auch der subjektiv wahrgenommene Kraftaufwand wurde im Fragebogen beim LS und SS höchstsignifikant (p = ,000) höher eingeschätzt als der NS. Darüber hinaus zeigte eine Korrelationsanalyse der LS- und der SS-Fragebogen-Werte eine signifikante positive Korrelation (Korrelation nach Pearson = ,560, p = ,001), sodass davon ausgegangen werden kann, dass diese Schlucktechniken miteinander vergleichbar sind. Eine Korrelationsanalyse der SEMG-Werte vom LS mit den Fragebogen-Werte des LS (Korrelation nach Pearson = ,122) und des SS (Korrelation nach Pearson = ,214) zeigte jedoch keine signifikante Korrelation.
Zusammenfassend zeigen die Ergebnisse, dass durch einen gesetzten Widerstand beim Schlucken unter dem Kinn die suprahyoidale Muskulatur bei gesunden ProbandInnen akti-viert wird. Die Ergebnisse legen nahe, dass der LS und SS mit ihrem Wirkmechanismus die suprahyoidale Muskulatur langfristig als Strength-Übung stärken könnten. Eine Übertra-gung der Ergebnisse auf Dysphagie-PatientInnen ist jedoch kritisch zu betrachten und bedarf weiterer Forschung.
Das Controlling in Pflegeeinrichtungen der stationären Altenpflege wird zurzeit noch nicht effektiv umgesetzt mit der Konsequenz, dass den Leitungen dieser Einrichtungen keine solide Entscheidungsgrundlage zur Verfügung steht. Im Verlauf dieser Arbeit wurden für einzelne Bereiche eines Kennzahlensystems beispielhaft sechs Pflegekennzahlen entwickelt. Dabei wurde für jede Pflegekennzahl die Erhebung erläutert sowie ihre Güte anhand eines selbst entwickelten Beurteilungsinstruments für Kennzahlen diskutiert. Die Datenquelle für diese Kennzahlen bildete in dieser Arbeit die elektronische Pflegedokumentation. Nach einer Vorstellung der möglichen Grafiktypen und der Erarbeitung von wesentlichen Aspekten für die Erstellung von statistischen Grafiken wurden für jede Kennzahl eine effiziente grafische Darstellungsform präsentiert und diskutiert. Die Entwicklung dieser visualisierten Kennzahlen stellt das primäre Ergebnis dieser Arbeit dar. Abschließend wurden die Anforderungen, die die Softwareanbieter und die Pflegeeinrichtungen für eine erfolgreiche Einführung in die Praxis zu erfüllen haben, aufgezeigt. Den Führungskräften in der Altenhilfe steht damit ein Werkzeug zur Verfügung mit dem sie sich die notwendigen Informationen beschaffen können.
Adhärenz digitaler Interventionen im Gesundheitswesen: Definitionen, Methoden und offene Fragen
(2021)
AbstractMany digital interventions rely on the participation of their users to have a positive impact. In various areas it can be observed that the use of digital interventions is often reduced or fully discontinued by the users after a short period of time. This is seen as one of the main factors that can limit the effectiveness of digital interventions. In this context, the concept of adherence to digital interventions is becoming increasingly important. Adherence to digital interventions is roughly defined as “the degree to which the user followed the program as it was designed,” which can also be paraphrased as “intended use” or “use as it is designed.” However, both the theoretical–conceptual and practical discussions regarding adherence to digital interventions still receive too little attention.The aim of this narrative review article is to shed more light on the concept of adherence to digital interventions and to distinguish it from related concepts. It also discusses the methods and metrics that can be used to operationalize adherence and the predictors that positively influence adherence. Finally, needs for action to better address adherence are considered critically.
Background: Paediatric palliative care (PPC) is a noncurative approach to the care of children and adolescents with life-limiting and life-threatening illnesses. Electronic medical records (EMRs) play an important role in documenting such complex processes. Despite their benefits, they can introduce unintended consequences if future users are not involved in their development. Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the acceptance of a novel module for nursing documentation by nurses working in the context of PPC. Methods: An observational study employing concurrent think-aloud and semi-structured qualitative interviews were conducted with 11 nurses working in PPC. Based on the main determinants of the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT), data were analysed using qualitative content analysis. Results: The main determinants of UTAUT were found to potentially influence acceptance of the novel module. Participants perceived the module to be self-explanatory and intuitive. Some adaptations, such as the reduction of fragmentation in the display, the optimization of confusing mouseover fields, and the use of familiar nursing terminology, are reasonable ways of increasing software adoption. Conclusions: After adaptation of the modules based on the results, further evaluation with the participation of future users is required.
Background: Electronic medical records (EMRs) offer a promising approach to mapping and documenting the complex information gathered in paediatric palliative care (PPC). However, if they are not well developed, poorly implemented EMRs have unintended consequences that may cause harm to patients. One approach to preventing such harm is the involvement of users in the participatory design to ensure user acceptance and patient safety. Therefore, the aim of this study is to evaluate the acceptance of a novel patient chart module (PCM) as part of an EMR from the perspective of potential users in PPC and to involve these professionals in the design process. Methods: A qualitative observational study with N = 16 PPC professionals (n = 10 nurses, n = 6 physicians) was conducted, including concurrent think aloud (CTA) and semi-structured interviews. A structured content analysis based on the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology was applied. Results: The results can be summarized in terms of general observations, performance expectancy, effort expectancy and facilitating conditions, all of which are likely to have a positive influence on acceptance of the PCM from the user perspective in the context of PPC. Conclusions: The involvement of users in the development of EMRs is important for meeting the requirements in PPC. Further software adaptations are necessary to implement these requirements.
Despite the enormous number of assistive technologies (ATs) in dementia care, the management of challenging behavior (CB) of persons with dementia (PwD) by informal caregivers in home care is widely disregarded. The first-line strategy to manage CB is to support the understanding of the underlying causes of CB to formulate individualized nonpharmacological interventions. App- and sensor-based approaches combining multimodal sensors (actimetry and other modalities) and caregiver information are innovative ways to support the understanding of CB for family caregivers. The main aim of this study is to describe the design of a feasibility study consisting of an outcome and a process evaluation of a newly developed app- and sensor-based intervention to manage CB of PwD for family caregivers at home. In this feasibility study, we perform an outcome and a process evaluation with a pre-post descriptive design over an 8-week intervention period. The Medical Research Council framework guides the design of this feasibility study. The data on 20 dyads (primary caregiver and PwD) are gathered through standardized questionnaires, protocols, and log files as well as semistructured qualitative interviews. The outcome measures (neuropsychiatric inventory and Cohen-Mansfield agitation inventory) are analyzed by using descriptive statistics and statistical tests relevant to the individual assessments (eg, chi-square test and Wilcoxon signed-rank test). For the analysis of the process data, the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology is used. Log files are analyzed by using descriptive statistics, protocols are analyzed by using documentary analysis, and semistructured interviews are analyzed deductively using content analysis. The newly developed app- and sensor-based AT has been developed and was evaluated until July in 2018. The recruitment of dyads started in September 2017 and was concluded in March 2018. The data collection was completed at the end of July 2018. This study presents the protocol of the first feasibility study to encompass an outcome and process evaluation to assess a complex app- and sensor-based AT combining multimodal actimetry sensors for informal caregivers to manage CB. The feasibility study will provide in-depth information about the study procedure and on how to optimize the design of the intervention and its delivery. DERR1-10.2196/11630

Background: Electronic medical records (EMRs) play a key role in improving documentation and quality of care in paediatric palliative care (PPC). Inadequate EMR design can cause incorrect prescription and administration of medications. Due to the fact of complex diseases and the resulting high level of medical complexity, patients in PPC are vulnerable to medication errors. Consequently, involving users in the development process is important. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the acceptance of a medication module from the perspective of potential users in PPC and to involve them in the development process. Methods: A qualitative observational study was conducted with 10 nurses and four physicians using a concurrent think-aloud protocol and semi-structured qualitative interviews. A qualitative content analysis was applied based on a unified theory of acceptance and use of technology. Results: Requirements from the user’s perspective could be identified as possible influences on acceptance and actual use. Requirements were grouped into the categories “performance expectancies” and “effort expectancies”. Conclusions: The results serve as a basis for further development. Attention should be given to the reduction of display fragmentation, as it decreases cognitive load. Further approaches to evaluation should be taken.
