1Department of Pediatric Dentistry, School of Dentistry, Ege University, İzmir, Turkey.
Managing dental trauma emergencies is challenging, especially documentation. A Patient Management Software (PMS) tool shows promise for improving recording and training, enhancing patient care and research.
Area of Science:
- Dentistry
- Health Informatics
Background:
- Traumatic dental emergencies present significant documentation challenges.
- Effective management requires robust data collection and analysis.
Purpose of the Study:
- To quantitatively and qualitatively analyze the current state of traumatic dental emergencies.
- To evaluate end-user experience with a "Add Dental Trauma" dialog box in Patient Management Software (PMS).
Main Methods:
- A 2-stage study involving online questionnaires, one-to-one interviews, and qualitative "think-aloud" analysis.
- Quantitative evaluation of the PMS dialog box using the DeLone and McLean Information System Success Model.
Main Results:
- Lack of staff and materials are key challenges in emergency dental trauma care.
- Dentists feel responsible for treating dental trauma, with varying capabilities based on setting and specialty.
- The "Add Dental Trauma" dialog box in PMS shows benefits but requires further improvements and user training.
Conclusions:
- Standardized documentation is crucial for managing traumatic dental emergencies.
- The "Add Dental Trauma" PMS tool can enhance data recording and interoperability.
- Targeted training can improve PMS adoption and support better dental trauma care and research.
