A new database supports Community Paramedicine at Clinic (CP@clinic) for older adults. This user-friendly, secure system aids in chronic condition management and resource linking.
Area of Science:
- Health Informatics
- Community Health
- Geriatric Care
Background:
- Community Paramedicine at Clinic (CP@clinic) program supports older adults.
- Effective data management is crucial for chronic condition management and resource linkage.
Purpose of the Study:
- To design and pilot test a low-cost, portable, secure, and user-friendly database for CP@clinic sessions.
- To evaluate the usability of the database with paramedics and older adult volunteers.
Main Methods:
- Database development using Microsoft Access in consultation with the CP@clinic research team.
- Pilot testing with older adult volunteers and paramedics.
- User experience assessment through surveys on perceived difficulty.
Main Results:
- A computer-based database was identified as a flexible and cost-effective solution.
- Pilot testing indicated the database was easy to use for both older adults and paramedics.
- The database successfully captures longitudinal data, incorporates guiding algorithms, and calculates risk scores.
Conclusions:
- The developed low-cost, user-friendly, and secure database effectively supports the CP@clinic program.
- This healthcare database solution is translatable to other electronic, longitudinal patient data collection studies.
