With an aging population preferring to age in place, there's a need for efficient health monitoring systems in eldercare. This study assesses the effectiveness of a linguistic summary alert system compared with a standard health alert system requiring data visualization interpretation by clinicians.
A total of 110 older adults from seven facilities were monitored for health alerts throughout 2019. The study analyzed the frequency of email alert interactions and surveyed clinicians' perceptions before and after system-specific training.
Linguistic alerts demonstrated a significant reduction in the need for data interface consultation, as indicated by a lower click-through rate for email alerts. Clinicians expressed a strong preference for linguistic alerts, which streamlined their decision-making process. Despite this, the post-training survey interval and limited participant demographic constrained the findings' generalizability.
The linguistic summary alert system was found to improve nursing efficiency by succinctly communicating health trends, thus alleviating workload. The system's potential to augment care by preempting health declines was acknowledged. To fully realize its benefits, further research is warranted to explore its direct impact on health outcomes and the factors influencing technology acceptance in eldercare.
随着老年人口倾向于居家养老，老年护理中需要高效的健康监测系统。本研究评估了语言摘要警报系统与需要临床医生解读数据可视化的标准健康警报系统相比的有效性。
2019年全年对来自七个机构的110名老年人进行了健康警报监测。该研究分析了电子邮件警报交互的频率，并在特定系统培训前后调查了临床医生的看法。
语言警报显示数据接口咨询需求显著减少，电子邮件警报的点击率较低表明了这一点。临床医生对语言警报表现出强烈偏好，这简化了他们的决策过程。尽管如此，培训后调查间隔和有限的参与者人口统计学限制了研究结果的普遍性。
发现语言摘要警报系统通过简洁地传达健康趋势提高了护理效率，从而减轻了工作量。该系统通过预防健康下降来增强护理的潜力得到了认可。为了充分实现其益处，有必要进行进一步研究，以探索其对健康结果的直接影响以及影响老年护理中技术接受度的因素。
