General System Theory and the Use of Process Mining to Improve Care Pathways.
Authors: Johnson O Abstract General System Theory was proposed in the post-war period as a unifying framework for interdisciplinary science based on the idea that systems have a set of similar properties and characteristics regardless of discipline. General System Theory laid the foundations for talking about things in terms of systems, many of its terms are now embedded in everyday language and it underpins a broad range of systems approaches and systems thinking. This chapter will describe the key elements of the original General System Theory (GST) including control, feedback, emergence, holism and the notion of...

Health Literacy and Pediatric Health.
Authors: Glick AF, Yin HS, Dreyer BP Abstract The chapters and reports in this book explore a wide variety of topics related to how health literacy can impact clinical practice and public health. While health literacy is relevant to healthcare issues across populations, it has unique implications in the field of pediatrics, where parents and other caregivers are responsible for managing their child's healthcare. Younger children have varying roles and involvement; over time, as children reach adolescence, they have an increasing understanding of and participation in their healthcare. This chapter will review the ep...

The Impact of Virtual Reality in Enhancing the Quality of Life of Pediatric Oncology Patients
Stud Health Technol Inform. 2022 Jan 14;289:477-480. doi: 10.3233/SHTI210961.ABSTRACTPediatric oncology interventions involve many challenges, such as multiple hospitalizations, invasive procedures, and adverse physical and psychological treatment side effects. Treatment burden, including administration of general anesthesia, contributes to high levels of psychological distress among pediatric patients and their families. Virtual reality (VR) is a distraction method, which offers an extremely realistic and interactive virtual environment and helps reduce pain and distress by means of a head-mounted display and headphones. ...

Social Media and the Internet of Things for Emergency and Disaster Medicine Management
Stud Health Technol Inform. 2022 May 20;291:105-117. doi: 10.3233/SHTI220011.ABSTRACTSocial Media and the Internet of Things are nowadays full and strong components of day-to-day life worldwide. Both allow communicating with others 24 hours a day, 7 days a week without distance limitations. During the last decade, on-site citizens have shared disaster-related first reports on social media. Official institutions are using the same framework for delivering up-to-date and follow-up directives. Moreover, monitoring health risks, patients, and systems behavior in real-time over the Internet-of-Things allows detecting different ...

How Can Health Information Technologies Contribute to Improve Health Care Services for High-Need Patients?
Authors: Nøhr C, Botin L, Zhu X Abstract This paper discusses how health information technologies like tele-care, tele-health and tele-medicine can improve the condition for high-need patients, specifically in relation to access. The paper addresses specifically the values of timeliness and equity and how tele technological solutions can support and enhance these values. The paper introduces to the concept of scaffolding, which constitutes the framework for dynamic, appropriate, caring and embracing approaches for engaging and involving high-need patients that are vulnerable and exposed. A number of specific consi...

Evaluation of an Interactive Visualization Tool for the Interpretation of Pediatric Laboratory Test Results.
Authors: Hirschmann J, Sedlmayr B, Zierk J, Rauh M, Metzler M, Prokosch HU, Toddenroth D Abstract The physiological age-related development of pediatric laboratory results interferes with pathological derangements, which can complicate the interpretation of test results. Recently proposed continuous reference intervals (RIs) promise to be beneficial, although their clinical use may depend on graphical presentations. To estimate the clinical utility of continuous RIs, we developed and evaluated an interactive visualization tool, and examined the differentiation of hemoglobinopathies that is attainable based on the u...

Development of the Patient Experience Questionnaire for Parents of Pediatric Patients (PEQP).
Authors: Kaipio J, Karisalmi N, Hiekkanen K, Stenhammar H, Lahdenne P Abstract Patient experience (PX) is an important evaluation criterion for quality in healthcare. Compared to patient satisfaction, however less research has focused on the development of instruments to measure experiences of patients and their families. In the article, we describe the process of developing a PX questionnaire for the parents of pediatric patients in the context of children's hospital and illustrate the questionnaire items for measuring PX. The phases of the development process included retrospective interviews, description of the ...

Clinical Information Model Based Data Quality Checks: Theory and Example.
We describe principles of leveraging clinical information models (CIMs) for data quality (DQ) checks and present the exemplary application of these principles. METHODS: openEHR compliant CIMs are used to express DQ-checks as constraints. Test setting is the process of extracting, transforming and loading (ETL) assisted ventilation data from two patient data management systems (PDMS) of a pediatric intensive care unit into a local openEHR-based data repository. RESULTS: A generic component logs aggregated DQ-check results for ~28 million entries. DQ-issue types in the presented results are range-, format- and value ...

Speech Recognition Evaluation of a State-Of-The-Art Smartglass in the Use Case Pediatric Resuscitation.
Authors: Schmucker M, Igel C, Kappler R, Haag M Abstract Emergencies involving children are rare events. Due to the associated lack of routine and special features in pediatric resuscitation, it is prone to errors and the results are unsatisfactory. One way of tackling this problem is to use assistance services. However, due to the process, these services cannot be easily integrated. One possibility is the use of Head Mounted Displays. These are often controlled via voice commands. With medical terms, the voice control implemented as standard can quickly become unusable. A wearable app was therefore developed for t...

Prevalence of malnutrition and its associated outcomes in pediatric patients with scoliosis undergoing elective posterior spinal fusion or spine growth modulation - a retrospective review
Stud Health Technol Inform. 2021 Jun 28;280:235-240. doi: 10.3233/SHTI210475.ABSTRACTRecent attention within pediatric orthopedics focuses on the prevalence and prevention of post-operative complications, including surgical site infections (SSIs). While poor nutrition status has been noted as a risk factor, various definitions have been utilized. The aim of this retrospective chart review was to utilize the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (AND) and the American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (ASPEN) diagnostic criteria to determine both the prevalence of malnutrition in pediatric patients undergoing spine ...
