Early discharge may be one solution to solve this problem, and continuous vital sign monitoring at home could safely facilitate this goal. We aimed to document feasibility of continuous home monitoring in patients after hospital discharge. Patients were eligible for inclusion if they were admitted with acute medical disease and scheduled for discharge. They wore three wireless vital sign sensors for four days at home: a chest patch measuring heart rate and respiratory rate, a pulse oximeter, and a blood pressure (BP) monitor. Patients with ≥6 hours monitoring time after discharge were included in the analysis. Primary outcome was percentage of maximum monitoring time of heart rate and respiratory rate. Monitoring was initiated in 80 patients, and 69 patients (86%) had ≥6 hours monitoring time after discharge. The chest patch, pulse oximeter, and BP monitor collected data for 88%, 60%, and 32% of the monitored time, respectively. Oxygen desaturation <88% was observed in 92% of the patients and lasted for 6.3% (interquartile range [IQR] 0.9%–22.0%) of total monitoring time. Desaturation below 85% was observed in 83% of the patients and lasted 4.2% [IQR 0.4%–9.4%] of total monitoring time. 61% had tachypnea (>24/minute); tachycardia (>130/minute) lasting ≥30 minutes was observed in 28% of the patients. Continuous monitoring of vital signs was feasible at home with a high degree of valid monitoring time. Oxygen desaturation was commonly observed.","PeriodicalId":46782,"journal":{"name":"Patient Safety in Surgery","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2023-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85583819","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study used a mixed-method design to build an evidence-based teaching plan and multiple-choice test, and qualitative analysis of second victim literature to generate teaching plan components. Quantitative analysis was used to evaluate experts’ ranks on the teaching plan and pretest drafts. The mean pretest score was low, possibly showing that doctoral students may lack knowledge of the second victim phenomenon. Test statistics indicate the need for item revision.

One of the major difficulties of EHR design is the visual display of information, which aims to present information in an easily digestible form for the user. High-risk industries like aviation, automotive, and nuclear have guidelines for visual displays based on human factors principles for optimized design. Purpose In this study, we reviewed the visual display guidelines from three high-risk industries—automotive, aviation, nuclear—for their applicability to EHR design and safety. Methods Human factors experts extracted guidelines related to visual displays from automotive, aviation, and nuclear human factors guideline documents. Human factors experts and a clinical expert excluded guidelines irrelevant to EHR. Human factors experts used a modified reflexive thematic analysis to group guidelines into meaningful topics. Disagreements were discussed until a consensus was reached. Results A total of 449 guidelines were extracted from the industry documents, and 283 (63.0%) were deemed relevant to EHRs. By industry, 12 of 44 (27.3%) automotive industry guidelines were relevant, 43 of 115 (37.4%) aviation industry guidelines were relevant, and 228 of 290 (78.6%) nuclear industry guidelines were relevant. Guidelines were grouped into six categories: alphanumeric; color, brightness, contrast, and luminance; comprehension; design characteristics; symbols, pictograms, and icons; and tables, figures, charts, and lists. Conclusion Our analysis identified visual display guidelines organized around six topics from the automotive, aviation, and nuclear industries to inform EHR design. Multiple stakeholders, including EHR vendors, healthcare facilities, and policymakers, can apply these guidelines to design new EHRs and optimize EHRs already in use.","PeriodicalId":46782,"journal":{"name":"Patient Safety in Surgery","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135608692","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
