Summary
Developing a digital framework improved surgical ward rounds (SWRs) by enhancing interdisciplinary collaboration and patient engagement. This technology ensures effective communication and preparation for all participants in SWRs.
Area of Science:
- Digital health interventions
- Health informatics
- Patient engagement technologies
Background:
- Surgical ward rounds (SWRs) often lack structure and are deprioritized.
- This leads to poor interdisciplinary collaboration, patient unpreparedness, and low family attendance.
Purpose of the Study:
- To co-design and develop a digital framework for SWRs.
- To ensure effective participation and attendance of all core participants.
Main Methods:
- Utilized participatory design (PD) methodologies with iterative user engagement.
- A multidisciplinary team, including patients and healthcare providers, collaborated on prototypes.
- Developed a logistics system for prebooking SWRs and an mHealth app for patient/family schedules.
Main Results:
- A logistics system enabled nurses to prebook SWRs and prepare data.
- An mHealth app facilitated patient and relative participation and question preparation.
- Iterative development ensured the digital framework met user needs and clinical feasibility.
Conclusions:
- Collaboration between users and technology designers is crucial for digital health tools.
- User engagement identified and addressed constraints for integrating digital frameworks into clinical settings.

Implementation is the execution of the nursing care plan developed during the planning phase.
The five steps to implementing effective nursing care include reassessing the patient, reviewing and revising the existing nursing care plan, organizing the resources and care delivery, anticipating and preventing complications, and implementing nursing interventions.

2.3K
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...

At the different levels of the healthcare system, we see varying methods of healthcare used. These methods include managed care systems, case management, and primary healthcare.
Managed Care System:
The managed care system is designed to control the cost while maintaining the quality of care. The patient's care from admission to discharge is planned by the primary care provider or the case manager, also known as the gatekeeper. In a managed care system, the number of care providers is...

Theories play an essential role in organizing patient care. Theories refer to a proposed or followed belief, policy, or procedure that is the basis for action. Nursing theories are knowledge-based concepts that guide nurses' actions, influence nursing education and practice, and allow nurses to care for their patients.
Theories provide a perspective to assess patients' conditions and organize data and methods. They also assist in analyzing and interpreting information. They represent a...
