Wireless patient monitoring and Efficacy Safety Score in postoperative treatment at the ward: evaluation of time consumption and usability
Authors' conclusion
In a test situation to measure time consumption, the ESS and pre-attached WPM-systems require less time than the conventional standard of care, and may allow for more frequent clinical monitoring at the post-surgical ward.
Study context
- Population
- Nurses at a mixed surgery ward who participated in an RCT combining Efficacy Safety Score (ESS) and wireless patient monitoring (WPM)24 responded
- Participants
- 28 nurses
- Comparison
- ESS and WPM vs standard manual assessment
Methodological detailssingle ward (mixed surgery)
- Single ward (mixed surgery)
Primary result
As reported in the abstract
Nurses' perception of ESS and WPM (questionnaire) and objective time consumption
- Reported ESS and WPM to increase patient safety and quality of care
- 92%
- Felt the intervention took extra time
- 67%
- Objective workload: time reduced with ESS and WPM vs standard manual assessment
- 1/3
- Improved confidence when using the systems
- 83%
