Area of Science:

  • Healthcare Management
  • Health Informatics
  • Industrial Engineering

Background:

  • Assessing healthcare workflows is crucial before Electronic Health Record (EHR) system implementation.
  • Traditional Time and Motion Studies (TMS) require in-person training, posing challenges for geographically dispersed teams.
  • The WOMBAT methodology offers a structured approach to TMS.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To implement and evaluate a virtual training program for enumerators conducting TMS using the WOMBAT methodology.
  • To assess the feasibility of remote training for TMS in a healthcare setting.
  • To explore the integration of digital tools and AI in observer training.

Main Methods:

  • A virtual training program was developed using Zoom, Google Forms, and the WOMBAT App.
  • AI-generated scenario images were utilized to simulate clinical settings for practice.
  • Observers were trained remotely to conduct Time and Motion Studies.

Main Results:

  • The virtual training program successfully prepared observers for data collection.
  • High inter-observer agreement was achieved, indicating effective training.
  • The study demonstrated the viability of a remote training approach for TMS.

Conclusions:

  • Virtual training programs can effectively prepare observers for Time and Motion Studies in remote or geographically dispersed contexts.
  • Digital tools and AI integration offer promising avenues for enhancing remote observer training in healthcare.
  • This approach provides a scalable and potentially cost-effective alternative to traditional in-person training for TMS.
