A Digitally Capable Aged Care Workforce: Demands and Directions for Workforce Education and Development

A Digitally Capable Aged Care Workforce: Demands and Directions for Workforce Education and Development

There we presented our view that workforce research and development is needed to achieve optimal outcomes for workers in order to achieve these for service users as the aged care sector moves toward digital maturity. The ensuing discussions with workshop delegates contributed to refining the viewpoint we outline here. Digital aged care work is likely to deliver the greatest benefits when needs for fundamental, complementary digital knowledge and skills are met in both paid and unpaid workers.

Using Wear Time for the Analysis of Consumer-Grade Wearables’ Data: Case Study Using Fitbit Data

Using Wear Time for the Analysis of Consumer-Grade Wearables’ Data: Case Study Using Fitbit Data

With the realization that fitness trackers can motivate users to exercise by providing them with real-time feedback, researchers and clinicians are now increasingly using these devices to monitor individuals [4-7]. In particular, Fitbit (Google Inc) smartwatches have imposed themselves in the clinical world due to their low price, high battery life, user-friendliness, and compatibility with most smartphones on the market.

Challenges to Rehabilitation Services in Sub-Saharan Africa From a User, Health System, and Service Provider Perspective: Scoping Review

Challenges to Rehabilitation Services in Sub-Saharan Africa From a User, Health System, and Service Provider Perspective: Scoping Review

It is important to explore the rehabilitation challenges faced by users, health systems, and service providers. This scoping review aims to enhance our understanding of the complex demands imposed by these factors in SSA and examine the challenges associated with rehabilitation services from those 3 domains. This review follows the framework of conducting scoping reviews as proposed by Arksey and O’Malley [12].

Comparison of a Novel Machine Learning–Based Clinical Query Platform With Traditional Guideline Searches for Hospital Emergencies: Prospective Pilot Study of User Experience and Time Efficiency

Comparison of a Novel Machine Learning–Based Clinical Query Platform With Traditional Guideline Searches for Hospital Emergencies: Prospective Pilot Study of User Experience and Time Efficiency

One of the strengths of our study is that it uses objective measures of efficiency including search times and search outcomes rather than relying on self-reported questionnaire data from users. This mitigates recall bias.

An Ontology for Digital Medicine Outcomes: Development of the Digital Medicine Outcomes Value Set (DOVeS)

Users of HTA frameworks (whether federal bodies abroad or individual stakeholders in the United States where no centralized federal HTA body exists [9]) might also benefit from a means to readily identify similar or related devices, particularly in a domain as complex and rapidly evolving as digital medicine.

Comparisons of Physicians’, Nurses’, and Social Welfare Professionals’ Experiences With Participation in Information System Development: Cross-Sectional Survey Study

Comparisons of Physicians’, Nurses’, and Social Welfare Professionals’ Experiences With Participation in Information System Development: Cross-Sectional Survey Study

Users may experience that their participation does not affect IS functionalities in a desired manner [1,4,6,16]. In addition, emphasizing administrative information needs and wishes instead of the needs of frontline professionals can complicate work processes by increasing the requirements for data entry and thus impair the workflows [21]. IS users in leadership positions have different needs for ISs than frontline professionals [22].

Examining the Emotional and Physical Health Impact in Users of Open-Source Automated Insulin Delivery and Sources of Support: Qualitative Analysis of Patient Narratives

Examining the Emotional and Physical Health Impact in Users of Open-Source Automated Insulin Delivery and Sources of Support: Qualitative Analysis of Patient Narratives

This approach enabled us to tap into a highly empowered and informed population of people with diabetes and particularly target those who were users of open-source AID systems. We used several social media channels, including the Facebook (Meta Platforms) groups Looped (with >6000 members) and Android APS users (with >1800 members as of November 2018) and regional subgroups, and posted publicly on Twitter using the hashtags #We Are Not Waiting and #DIYAPS to engage with the wider diabetes online community.

Unveiling Usage Patterns and Explaining Usage of Symptom Checker Apps: Explorative Longitudinal Mixed Methods Study

Unveiling Usage Patterns and Explaining Usage of Symptom Checker Apps: Explorative Longitudinal Mixed Methods Study

Users of SCAs are typically characterized as younger females with a higher socioeconomic status [6] and a greater affinity for technology [7]. In addition, it has been observed that SCA users showed higher levels of health anxiety than nonusers [8], with SCAs being more widely recognized among these users [6]. Users with anxiety disorders, however, tend to find SCAs less beneficial [6], indicating that SCAs might not be advantageous for this user group.

Insights From the Development of a Dynamic Consent Platform for the Australians Together Health Initiative (ATHENA) Program: Interview and Survey Study

These represented an amalgamation of interviewees’ beliefs and did not represent any specific individual, and they played a role in the second stage of dynamic consent platform construction by providing examples of potential types of users for consideration. This stage involved a 1-day workshop involving guided group discussions with key stakeholders from health care.
