A sneak preview of future EMRs
at MedInfo 2023 Now Published and Indexed in PubMed
In a move to transform how doctors access and utilize patient information, Dedalus medical office presented a paper at MedInfo 2023 in Sydney, Australia. The paper, titled “Say Goodbye to the ‘Paper on Screen’, Rethinking Presentation of and Interaction with Medical Information,” has now been officially published and indexed in PubMed.
Key Findings
Traditional Electronic Medical Records (EMR) have long imitated paper records, limiting the true potential of digital data organization. The paper introduces a revolutionary clinical dashboard approach, designed to enhance usability and accessibility for healthcare professionals.
Clinical Dashboards: A New Era in Healthcare Technology
The study, presented by a collaborative team of healthcare professionals, IT experts, and clinical informaticians, outlines a four-phase framework for developing clinical dashboards. These dashboards, designed based on clinical context, break away from the traditional EMR presentation, offering an immediate and comprehensive view of relevant patient information.
Case Study: Sepsis Dashboard Implementation
The paper details the implementation of a sepsis dashboard, focusing on patients in the intensive care unit (ICU). Utilizing official sepsis guidelines, the team identified and mapped clinical concepts to standard terminologies, resulting in a user-friendly dashboard.
International Recognition and Positive Feedback
The paper received international recognition, with its presentation at MedInfo 2023. An evaluation by physicians from various healthcare institutions across Australia, Germany, Switzerland, the UK, and Italy showed positive feedback, with a mean System Usability Scale (SUS) score of 75.9.
Impact on Healthcare Decision-Making
The sepsis dashboard model, built on a structured knowledge base, enhances information clarity and accessibility, potentially improving healthcare decision-making. The involvement of healthcare professionals in the design process is highlighted as crucial for enhancing software usability.
Future Directions and Publication Details:
As the paper marks a significant milestone in healthcare technology, future directions include a quantitative evaluation of the impact of dashboards on user behavior and patient outcomes. The paper has just been published and indexed in PubMed, making its findings accessible to the global medical community.
