Abstract

Background: With an aging population preferring to age in place, there's a need for efficient health monitoring systems in eldercare. This study assesses the effectiveness of a linguistic summary alert system compared with a standard health alert system requiring data visualization interpretation by clinicians.

Methods: A total of 110 older adults from seven facilities were monitored for health alerts throughout 2019. The study analyzed the frequency of email alert interactions and surveyed clinicians' perceptions before and after system-specific training.

Results: Linguistic alerts demonstrated a significant reduction in the need for data interface consultation, as indicated by a lower click-through rate for email alerts. Clinicians expressed a strong preference for linguistic alerts, which streamlined their decision-making process. Despite this, the post-training survey interval and limited participant demographic constrained the findings' generalizability.

Conclusion: The linguistic summary alert system was found to improve nursing efficiency by succinctly communicating health trends, thus alleviating workload. The system's potential to augment care by preempting health declines was acknowledged. To fully realize its benefits, further research is warranted to explore its direct impact on health outcomes and the factors influencing technology acceptance in eldercare.

加强老年人护理：评估临床医生对健康监测警报系统中语言摘要的感知。

背景：随着老龄人口的老龄化，在老年护理中需要有效的健康监测系统。本研究评估了语言摘要警报系统与需要临床医生进行数据可视化解释的标准健康警报系统的有效性。方法：在2019年全年监测了来自7家机构的110名老年人的健康警报。该研究分析了电子邮件警报互动的频率，并调查了临床医生在系统特定培训之前和之后的看法。结果：语言警报显示了数据接口咨询需求的显著减少，正如电子邮件警报的较低点击率所表明的那样。临床医生表达了对语言警报的强烈偏好，这简化了他们的决策过程。尽管如此，培训后的调查间隔和有限的参与者人口统计限制了研究结果的普遍性。结论：语言总结提示系统通过简洁地传达健康趋势，提高护理效率，减轻工作量。该系统在预防健康下降方面的潜力得到了认可。为了充分认识其益处，需要进一步研究其对健康结果的直接影响以及影响老年人技术接受度的因素。

期刊介绍： ACI is the third Schattauer journal dealing with biomedical and health informatics. It perfectly complements our other journals Öffnet internen Link im aktuellen FensterMethods of Information in Medicine and the Öffnet internen Link im aktuellen FensterYearbook of Medical Informatics. The Yearbook of Medical Informatics being the “Milestone” or state-of-the-art journal and Methods of Information in Medicine being the “Science and Research” journal of IMIA, ACI intends to be the “Practical” journal of IMIA.
