Background:
- Intensive care units (ICUs) require efficient communication and data sharing for effective patient management.
- Current workflows in ICUs can be fragmented, hindering multi-disciplinary team collaboration.
Purpose of the Study:
- To present a conceptual design for a mobile computing platform.
- To enhance the process of multi-disciplinary rounds in intensive care settings.
Main Methods:
- Conceptual design and system architecture development.
- Focus on user interface and data integration requirements for mobile use.
Main Results:
- A conceptual design for a mobile platform was successfully developed.
- The design addresses key needs for supporting collaborative rounds in ICUs.
Conclusions:
- The proposed mobile computing platform offers a potential solution to improve multi-disciplinary rounds in ICUs.
- Further development and validation are needed to realize the platform's full potential in critical care settings.

01:20Integrated Healthcare System
An integrated healthcare system (IHS) is a set of organizations that provides for or arranges to provide coordinated and continuous service to a defined population. The IHS takes responsibility for that particular population's health status and outcome, both clinically and fiscally. An integrated healthcare system is a well-organized, well-coordinated, and collaborative network. The integrated delivery system is a network that connects different healthcare providers to deliver organized,...
01:28Communication
Sharing information, concepts, and emotions to foster mutual understanding is communication. The sender, recipient, and transaction must be considered in this manner. The sender is the person who shares the message, the recipient is the person who receives and understands the message, and the transaction is the method used to deliver the message and the variables that affect the communication's context and surroundings. The nurse-client connection is built on therapeutic communication.

01:03Communication
Communication between two animals occurs when one animal transmits an information signal that causes a change in the animal that receives the information. Organisms communicate with one another in a host of different ways. Signals can be auditory, chemical, visual, tactile, or a combination of these. Communication is a critical behavioral adaptation that promotes survival, growth, and reproduction.

01:25Role of Communication in the Nursing Process I: Assessment and Diagnosis
The nursing process uses scientific reasoning, problem-solving, and critical thinking to guide nurses in providing patients with appropriate care. This process is a systematic approach to recognize, avoid, and treat current or potential health issues while promoting the patient's well-being.
The nursing process considers the patient's emotional and physical well-being. The process can be repeated or stopped at any point if judged essential. Assessment is the first step in the nursing process.
