Summary
Clinicians prefer patient-generated health data (PGHD) visualizations with statistical summaries and clinical interpretations. Best practices for presenting physiologic PGHD in patient-centered clinical decision support tools are still emerging.
Area of Science:
- Clinical Informatics
- Human-Computer Interaction
- Health Data Visualization
Background:
- Patient-centered clinical decision support (PC CDS) aims to personalize patient care.
- Patient-generated health data (PGHD), especially from automated devices, offers valuable insights for PC CDS.
- Effective presentation of PGHD to clinicians for decision-making remains an open challenge.
Purpose of the Study:
- To identify best practices for visualizing physiologic PGHD.
- To inform the design of software applications for PC CDS tools.
Main Methods:
- A scoping review of studies on PGHD dashboards with clinician involvement was conducted.
- Included studies focused on physiologic PGHD from individual patients for clinical decision-making.
- Fifteen articles were identified from 468 initial titles and abstracts.
Main Results:
- Clinicians favor PGHD visualizations with statistical summaries, clinical interpretations, and integration with non-PGHD.
- Key user preferences include longitudinal data display, data aggregation, actionability, and customization.
- Dashboard adoption is influenced by speed, simplicity, and data availability for documentation.
Conclusions:
- While common themes in PGHD display and usability exist, further research is crucial.
- Developing effective PGHD visualizations is vital for advancing tailored patient care.
- Establishing best practices for PGHD presentation in PC CDS tools requires continued investigation.

2.1K
Patient-centered care involves delivering care beyond inpatient hospitalization. Reflective practice can enhance a patient-centered approach. Reflective practice is a process of reasoning that considers all aspects of the present situation, including practicalities, learning from personal practice, and consideration of patient needs. Patients appreciate care decisions made while considering their input. Involving the patient in their care provides the patient with a sense of contribution rather...
