Introduction Many patients use mobile devices to track health conditions by recording patient-generated health data. However, patients and clinicians may disagree how to use these data. Objective To systematically review the literature to identify how patient-generated health data and patient-reported outcomes collected outside of clinical setting...

Objectives We describe the evaluation of a system to create hospital progress notes using voice and electronic health record integration to determine if note timeliness, quality, and physician satisfaction are improved. Materials and methods We conducted a randomized controlled trial to measure effects of this new method of writing inpatient progr...

Background: Postoperative surgical site infections (SSI) are common and costly. Most occur post-discharge, and may result in potentially preventable readmission and/or unnecessary urgent evaluation. Mobile health approaches incorporating patient-generated wound photos are being implemented in an attempt to optimize triage and management. We assess...

A prospective workflow assessment to ascertain the delay between a patient is seen during morning rounds and when their encounter note becomes a part of the electronic health record.

Background: Surgical site infection (SSI) remains a common, costly and morbid healthcare-associated infection. Early detection may improve outcomes, yet previous risk models consider only baseline risk factors ("BF"), not incorporating a proximate and timely data source: the wound itself. We hypothesize that incorporation of daily wound assessment...

This presentation gives a definition of workflow within a clinical setting, presents two case studies regarding the importance of workflow analysis, and provides an overview of workflow analysis tools and methods to facilitate HIT implementations. My research team’s surgical site infection mobile health app, mPOWEr, is used as an example to illustr...

An overview of mPOWEr, a mobile health application to facilitate patient-provider communication concerning the signs and symptoms of surgical site infections post-discharge.

Objective The proposed Meaningful Use Stage 3 recommendations require healthcare providers to accept patient-generated health data (PGHD) by 2017. Yet, we know little about the tensions that arise in supporting the needs of both patients and providers in this context. We sought to examine these tensions when designing a novel, patient-centered tech...

Objectives: Describe the concordance in the patient’s readiness for hospital discharge (RHDS) between the patient and their surgical providers at the time of hospital discharge. Characterize the quality of discharge teaching (QDTS) and information needs from the patients’ perspective by examining the difference between patient content needs and co...

Post-Operative Wound Monitoring and Triage with Digital Images: Developing Guidance for Nurses Background: The advancement of mobile health (mHealth) technology, the need to contain healthcare costs, and the increased desire of patients to engage in healthcare is changing our healthcare landscape. Post-operative patients are utilizing digital image...

Background Post-discharge surgical site infections (SSI) are a major source of morbidity, expense and anxiety for patients. However, patient perceptions about barriers experienced while seeking care for post-discharge SSI have not been assessed in depth. We explored patient experience of SSI and openness to a mobile health (mHealth) wound monitorin...
