Implementing a Home Infusion Central Line-Associated Bloodstream Infection Dashboard: Considerations for Dashboard...

Area of Science:

• Healthcare quality improvement
• Health informatics
• Patient safety

Background:

• Dashboards are vital for monitoring healthcare safety and quality data.
• Limited guidance exists for implementing dashboards in home infusion therapy.
• Central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI) are a critical safety outcome in this setting.

Purpose of the Study:

• To develop and implement a CLABSI surveillance dashboard for a home infusion therapy collaborative.
• To explore barriers and facilitators to dashboard implementation using the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM).
• To create a framework for implementing and utilizing healthcare dashboards in home infusion settings.

Main Methods:

• Qualitative analysis of interviews with seven primary dashboard users.
• Application of the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) to understand implementation factors.
• Development of a CLABSI surveillance dashboard for a home infusion therapy collaborative.

Main Results:

• Identified key components, barriers, and facilitators for dashboard implementation in home infusion therapy.
• The TAM provided valuable insights into user acceptance and adoption of the CLABSI dashboard.
• A new framework was developed based on TAM elements for dashboard implementation.

Conclusions:

• The developed framework supports the implementation and use of quality and safety dashboards in home infusion therapy.
• Understanding user perspectives through models like TAM is crucial for successful healthcare dashboard adoption.
• This work provides practical guidance for agencies developing similar safety dashboards.
