Establishing a smart platform for wound nursing management is imperative to accelerating the development of this specialty. A mobile application (app) was created based on the clinical needs of wound care to improve working efficiency and wound management, as well as enable information sharing and categorical retrieval of patient records.
Supported by the National Mobile Laboratory of China, the authors' wound care center collaborated with information technology engineers and user interface designers to establish a multidisciplinary team of experts in wound nursing information management and develop a digital app. Electronic tablets were chosen as a convenient clinical method to collect complete information in a standardized format. In the app, case records are synchronously cataloged for rapid retrieval. The app was designed such that practicing nurses could quickly learn how to use the various functions of the app. Through constant iterative optimization, the relevant functional modules have been further improved.
After a 1-year clinical trial, app functions have stabilized, fulfilling the expectations of technicians and boosting the operating efficiency of clinical practices. In comparison with traditional methods, the app allows for easy access to patient information; rapidly reviewed, synchronous cataloguing; and convenient retrieval. Further exploration is warranted.
建立一个智能化的伤口护理管理平台对于加速该专业的发展至关重要。本研究基于伤口护理的临床需求,创建了一个移动应用程序(app),以提高工作效率和伤口管理水平,并实现信息共享和患者记录的分类检索。
在中国国家移动实验室的支持下,作者所在的伤口护理中心与信息技术工程师和用户界面设计师合作,组建了一个多学科的伤口护理信息管理专家团队,并开发了一个数字化应用程序。电子平板电脑被选为一种方便的临床方法,用于以标准化格式收集完整信息。在该应用程序中,病例记录被同步编目,以便快速检索。该应用程序的设计使得执业护士能够快速学习如何使用该应用程序的各种功能。通过不断的迭代优化,进一步改进了相关功能模块。
经过 1 年的临床试用,应用程序的功能已经稳定,满足了技术人员的期望,并提高了临床实践的操作效率。与传统方法相比,该应用程序可方便地获取患者信息,快速查阅、同步编目和方便检索。需要进一步探索。
