Trial Promoter: A Web-Based Tool for Boosting the Promotion of Clinical Resea...Katja Reuter, PhD
Scarce information about clinical research, in particular clinical trials, is among the top reasons why potential participants do not take part in clinical trials. Clinical trials are vital for the development of novel approaches to advancing medicine, but without volunteers this type of research is impossible. In 2012, the Institute of Medicine recognized the seriousness of the clinical trial participation problem and released a report that identified numerous barriers, including the lack of awareness among patients and physicians that clinical trials are available. New solutions are needed that increase clinical trial awareness and build rapport among patients, physicians, and caregivers with the aim to boost clinical trial engagement and recruitment rates. We have developed and tested Trial Promoter, a Web-based tool that automatically generates and distributes social media messages about clinical trials.

Valid and Reliable Tools
The goal of an evaluation is to determine the success of an intervention, a new process, the launch of a new technology, patient satisfaction, or any number of things. Surveys are a popular tool for gathering this type of information. For the results of the evaluation to be meaningful, however, the survey used must be both reliable and valid. What does that entail? A reliable instrument is one that would yield similar results when given to different groups under identical circumstances. For example, if a survey was given to nurses on the use of a certain piece of technology, all respondents would understand the phrasing of the questions the same way. Validity refers to how well the instrument actually measures what it is intended to measure. Determining the reliability and validity of a survey instrument can be complicated and involves the use of statistics. For this reason, many researchers opt to use instruments that are already developed and tested.
For this Discussion, you consider survey instruments that would be appropriate to use in specific situations.
The following scenarios will be used for this week’s Discussion:
Scenario 1:
A large hospital intends to implement a computerized provider order entry (CPOE) system. In order to get a good idea of its effects, the hospital’s leadership has asked for an evaluation of the CPOE system’s impact 90 days after its initial implementation.
Scenario 2:
Years ago, the primary hospital for a large, rural county distributed personal data assistants (PDAs) to all of its physicians in an attempt to modernize. After looking at many other more up-to-date mobile systems, physicians and hospital leaders are curious about how their current PDA-based system performs.
Scenario 3:
The informatics department of one of North America’s largest hospitals is conducting an internal review of its health information technology systems. This review will evaluate the need for any changes to its systems and may serve as justification for different budgetary allocations. Because of its sheer size and the number of personnel it affects, the hospital’s electronic health record system will be a pivotal point of the review.
To prepare:
Review this week’s Learning Resources on reliability and validity.
Review the AHRQ Evaluation Survey Compendium.
Review the scenarios presented above.
Using the “Locate a Survey for your Project” tool available on the AHRQ website, identify a survey tool that would be appropriate for use for each scenario.
Reflect on the specific characteristics of a valid, reliable survey tool.

Conducting the literature review and the evaluation methodology provided an insight into PICO question (Does implementing a new unified acute and ambulatory EHR (Electronic Health Record) system in the hospital, compared to when they are not used, improve the health care quality for the patients through documentation), and obtaining important information about what needs to be considered in a research project, particularly regarding research tool. The research should consider a tool that proves to be reliable and valid. The researcher should want to know if the tool is accurate and measuring what it is intended to measure (Penfold et al., 2011). Picking the wrong tool for research would result in an incomplete result, hence problem with the evidence. Thus, subsequent researchers may not want to use the flawed methodology to conduct their research. The purpose of this paper is to describe the selected evaluation tool for the project with a rationale, to summarize the criteria used in defining evaluation success, and to develop the assessment plan.Describing the Evaluation Tool Selected for the Evaluation Project
The chosen tool for evaluation is the “Electronic Health Record End User Survey” (AHRQ, n.d.). The tool is a questionnaire that focuses on the usability of an EHR. The questionnaire is designed for the clinical staff in the ambulatory setting to evaluate the usability of an electronic health record in ambulatory care. The aim of the assessment tool is to measure the appropriateness of ambulatory care after the implementation of clinical documentation. The device involves various types of a survey that incorporate many stakeholders who ensure that the hospital adopts new technology relating to the improvement of health care within the hospital. The tool is associated with a survey tool for assessing the EHR implementation based on development initiatives guide. The EHR End User Survey measures the effectiveness realized in the hospital setup through documentation as compared to using the old system of documentation. Based on the developed PICO question that aims at evaluating the benefits that subsume the overtaken documentation. The evaluation tool captures various hospital domains including the end users feedback regarding training and competency, usefulness, usability, infrastructure, and the user support. The tool involves the validation efforts based on needs assessment, the pilot study and the analysis of the nurse respondents. The End User Survey tool based on the EHR provides questionnaire type of review where the clinical staff answer the asked questions focusing on the current state assessment and usability within the hospital. The remote documentation applicable to the new unified ambulatory system makes it easier and efficient since it increases the number o ...
Healthcare data analytics refers to the collection and analysis of patient data to improve medical care and patient experience. Patients go through a continuum of caregiving from diagnosis to recovery. This medical journey is called patient experience (PX). Artificial intelligence, in the form of machine learning, can be applied to this type of analytics to make patient experience data reviews faster, more accurate, and multilingual.

Quality improvement
Diana Velez
Phoenix University
March 7, 2016
Quality improvement involves continuous and systematic actions carried out by measuring improvements in healthcare services and health status of targeted groups of patients (McLaughlin & Kaluzny, 2006). This paper aims at evaluating quality improvements concerning patient safety at Davis Health Care. Patient safety can be described as the freedom from accidental injury. In quality improvement(QI), the management of data is a significant part of improving the performance of a healthcare organization. It involves the collection, tracking, analysis, interpretation and taking appropriate actions on organizational data for specific measures such as patient safety.
Measuring the inputs, processes and outcomes of a health system is a proactive and systematic approach to practice-level decisions for delivery systems and patient care. data management involves a continuous measuring and monitoring, and it enables an organization's quality improvement team to identify and implement available opportunities for improving its existing care delivery systems such as patient safety and monitor progress. Data needed for monitoring improvement in patient safety include information on evidence-based care provided, systems that affect patient access to quality care, the safety of the patients, support for patient engagement, cultural competence and coordination of medical care with other components of the healthcare organization. Tools that can be used for collecting performance information in relation to patient safety include benchmarking, brainstorming and surveys.
Benchmarking in Healthcare can be defined as a collaborative and continuous discipline used in measuring and comparing results of key work processes such as patient safety initiatives with those of best performers in measuring the organizational performance (Joint Commission Resources, Inc.; Joint Commission International, 2012). There are two different types of benchmarking that can be applied in measuring patient safety and quality performance. Internal benchmarking is used in identifying best practices inside an organization for comparing best practices within the organization and the current practice over time. The information gathered can be plotted on a control chart using statistically derived lower and upper limits. However, the use of internal benchmarking alone cannot yield information or results that are fully representative of the best practices. External or competitive benchmarking involves the use of comparative data between healthcare organizations to evaluate performance and identify patient safety improvements that have been successful in other organizations.

PR and communications managers in the business to business technology sector are under increasing pressure to deliver but are still not seen as contributing to business growth, according to Kaizo’s first B2B Tech In-House PR Barometer survey.

Consumer confusion or Communication Clarity?Kaizo PR
Kaizo recently commissioned independent research with OnePoll into consumer attitudes to ever increasing health messaging by brands, showing that many are failing to truly involve consumers or integrate consistent messaging across channels. We shared the research with brands via a series of free breakfast sessions and had some lively debate about the results!
The results are summarised below:
• The number and frequency of products claiming health benefits continues to rise dramatically but rather than help drive consumer awareness and education about the benefits, 25% of consumers have been left feeling confused by the different health messages.
