The transition from paper to electronic documentation systems in acute care settings is often gradual and characterized by a period in which paper and electronic processes coexist. Intermediate technologies are needed to "bridge" the gap between paper and electronic systems as a means to improve work flow efficiency through data acquisition at the point of care in structured formats to inform decision support and facilitate reuse. The purpose of this paper is to report on the findings of a study conducted on three acute care units at Brigham and Women's Hospital and Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, MA to evaluate the feasibility of digital pen and paper technology as a means to capture vital sign data in the context of acute care workflows and to make data available in a flow sheet in the electronic medical record.
在急症护理环境中,从纸质文档系统向电子文档系统的转变通常是渐进的,其特点是存在一个纸质流程和电子流程共存的时期。需要中间技术来“弥合”纸质系统和电子系统之间的差距,以此通过在护理点以结构化格式采集数据来提高工作流程效率,为决策支持提供信息并便于重复使用。本文的目的是报告一项针对马萨诸塞州波士顿市布莱根妇女医院和麻省总医院的三个急症护理单元开展的研究结果,以评估数字笔和纸质技术在急症护理工作流程中捕获生命体征数据并在电子病历的流程图中提供数据的可行性。
