Providing patients with preparatory information about diagnostic procedures can reduce stress. This study aimed to disseminate crucial sensory details to clinicians for patient benefit, overcoming information gaps caused by evolving technology.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Informatics
  • Patient Education
  • Healthcare Communication

Background:

  • Patient anxiety often stems from a lack of information regarding diagnostic procedures.
  • Rapid technological advancements and limited clinician exposure hinder the availability of up-to-date procedural information.
  • Effective patient preparation is crucial for mitigating negative responses to stressful medical experiences.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and implement a system for disseminating procedure-related sensory information to clinicians.
  • To bridge the information gap concerning diagnostic procedures for enhanced patient care.
  • To leverage existing technology for efficient information transfer in a clinical setting.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized mainframe terminals and printers as the primary dissemination channels.
