Summary
This study developed 4 evidence-based digital health recommendations for healthcare providers. These guidelines, informed by systematic reviews and the GRADE approach, aim to integrate digital health technologies into clinical practice effectively.
Area of Science:
- Digital Health
- Health Informatics
- Nursing Informatics
Background:
- Digital health technologies are crucial for improving clinical practice and patient outcomes.
- Nurses and health providers require essential knowledge of digital health technologies.
Purpose of the Study:
- To present systematic review findings informing a best practice guideline (BPG) on digital health.
- To provide evidence-based recommendations for integrating digital health into clinical practice.
Main Methods:
- Conducted 5 systematic reviews using the GRADE (Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation) approach.
- Searched 10 databases for studies published between January 2017 and July 2022.
- Synthesized evidence and evaluated quality using the GRADE approach with a panel of 17 experts.
Main Results:
- 18 articles from 4 systematic reviews met inclusion criteria.
- 4 evidence-based recommendations were drafted for nurses and health providers.
- One systematic review yielded no recommendation due to insufficient evidence.
Conclusions:
- The best practice guideline offers 4 recommendations for incorporating digital health technologies.
- These recommendations are applicable across all healthcare settings.
- The guideline supports nurses and health providers in leveraging digital health tools.

14.8K
As the human population continues to grow and use resources, we must be mindful of our planet’s natural limits. Sustainable development provides a pathway to maintain and improve human life now while also ensuring that future generations will have the resources that they need. The long-term success of sustainability efforts rests on understanding the interplay between human actions and ecological systems.

01:16Characteristics of Practical Op Amps
840
A difference amplifier, a crucial component in numerous electronic devices, ideally amplifies only the difference-mode signal, which is the difference between two input signals. However, in practical circuits, the output voltage depends on both the differential gain and the common-mode gain.
The ratio of differential gain to the common-mode gain is defined as the common-mode rejection ratio (CMRR). This ratio quantifies the ability of operational amplifiers (op-amps) to reject common-mode...

17.3K
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...

01:28Equivalent Circuits for Practical Transformers
1.4K
The practical equivalent circuits of single-phase two-winding transformers exhibit significant deviations from their idealized versions due to the inherent properties of winding resistance and finite core permeability. These properties result in real and reactive power losses, affecting the transformer's performance. Understanding these deviations is crucial for designing more efficient transformers.
In a practical transformer, each winding exhibits resistance and leakage reactance. The...

01:21Chemical Equilibria: Systematic Approach to Equilibrium Calculations
1.5K
Equilibrium calculations for systems involving multiple equilibria are often complex. For example, to calculate the solubility of a sparingly soluble salt in an aqueous solution in the presence of a common ion, one must consider all the equilibria in this solution. Calculations for these systems can be complicated and tedious, so a systematic approach with a series of steps is often helpful. The process is detailed below.
The first step is to identify all the chemical reactions involved, The...

01:15Development of the Lymphatic System
2.0K
The development of lymphatic tissues and vessels in embryonic life begins around the fifth week. These structures originate from the mesoderm layer, with lymph sacs emerging from developing veins.
The first lymph sacs to form are the paired jugular lymph sacs located at the junction of the internal jugular and subclavian veins. From these sacs, lymphatic capillary plexuses extend to the thorax, upper limbs, neck, and head, eventually forming lymphatic vessels. Each jugular lymph sac maintains a...
