Abstract
Background: Emerging evidence suggests that virtual patient observation (VPO) may help promote patient safety.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine and describe the demographic and clinical characteristics of patients who incurred VPO.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted. Differences in total VPO hours between groups were examined, followed by a hierarchical regression to investigate the effect of predictor variables on VPO utilization variance.
Results: A total of 286 patient charts were reviewed. Mean VPO hours were higher in patients with an intensive care unit admission history. Adjusted for gender and history of dementia/Alzheimer's/memory impairment, the prediction of total VPO hours increased with the patient's intensive care unit admission history and overall hospital length of stay.
Conclusions: Examining the prevalence and variability in the pattern of VPO utilization by specific patient characteristics is essential for identifying what patients could best benefit from this technology.
期刊介绍：
Journal of Nursing Care Quality (JNCQ) is a peer-reviewed journal that provides practicing nurses as well as nurses who have leadership roles in nursing care quality programs with useful information regarding the application of quality principles and concepts in the practice setting. The journal offers a forum for the scholarly discussion of “real world” implementation of quality activities.
