Supporting Patient Healing through ICUsmartCARE: Technologies that Enable Family Collaboration, Presence, and Information Flow

摘要: Research suggests that family members of ICU patients have not been meaningfully engaged in the care process, putting them at risk for experiencing fear, depression, stress, and disruptions relationships. To address this problem, we propose design a family-centered communication-information technology, ICUsmartCARE. Its purpose is to support collaboration by providing families increased (remote) access, presence, interaction with patient data—without placing additional information-sharing burden on critical clinicians. The approach will be novel three ways: (1) Family-centered framework accessing real-time bedside data synchronized-video, (2) Mobile-health family-patient-clinician collaboration––using two integrated (and validated) technologies (CISCO Jabber Guest Medical Information Visualization Assistant), (3) Cognitive systems engineering methodology conduct collection/analysis, design, testing sociotechnical system. commercial potential ICUsmartCARE considerable supporting effective efficient care.
