The implementation of health information technology (IT) is one of the strategy to improve patient safety due to medical errors. Nevertheless, inappropriate use of health IT may have serious consequences to the quality of care and patient safety. Most of the previous studies have been focused on the sociotechnical factors contributed to health IT related errors. Little focus has been given on the use behavior that influence the safety of health IT adoption. In order to address this gap, this study investigates the use behavior that influence the safety of health IT adoption. Systematic literature review was conducted to identify articles pertinent to safety of health IT. Science Direct, Medline, EMBASE, and CINAHL database were searched for reviews relevance articles. A total of 23 full articles were reviewed to extract use behavior that influence the safety of health IT adoption. Workarounds, adhere to procedure, vigilant action, and copy and paste behavior were discerned as the significance use behavior that influence health IT safety adoption. This study may be of significance in providing useful information on how to safely practice health IT adoption.

BACKGROUND Rigorous development of mobile technologies requires the use of validated instruments to evaluate the usability of these tools, which has become more relevant with the expansion of these technologies. Although various usability evaluation tools have been developed, there are relatively few simple evaluation instruments which have been validated across diseases and languages in mobile health information technology validated for use for multiple diseases. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to validate the Korean version of the Health Information Technology Usability Evaluation Scale (Korean Health-ITUES) and its applicability for different health conditions. METHODS To develop the Korean Health-ITUES, a validation process was composed of the following three steps: (1) customization of the Health-ITUES for menstrual symptoms, (2) translation to Korean Health-ITUES, and (3) reliability and validity examination. The translation process adhered to the World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines for translation and back translation, expert review, and reconciliation. After developing the Korean Health-ITUES draft, five female nursing science majors who used the menstrual app participated in a pilot test and provided feedback on the content of the instrument. Following this, 244 women were recruited for validation testing. RESULTS The Korean Health-ITUES showed reliable internal consistency with a Cronbach’s alpha of 0.951; meanwhile, factor loadings of the 20 items in the 4 subscales ranged from 0.416 to 0.892. CONCLUSIONS The Health-ITUES demonstrated reliability and validity for use in assessing mHealth apps’ usability in young Korean women living with menstrual discomfort. Given the strong psychometric properties of this tool in Korean and English and across two different health conditions, the Health-ITUES is a strong tool for mHealth apps’ usability evaluation. The Health-ITUES is a valid instrument for the evaluation of mHealth technology, which are widely used by patients to self-manage their health and by providers to improve healthcare delivery.

AbstractLong treatment for tuberculosis, which is 6 months, often makes patients feel bored and forgets to take medicine and causes non-compliance. The development of increasingly high use of smartphones, along with the use of information technology in health, especially for tuberculosis patients, makes many things accessible to patients. By using smartphones, the patients can access the MHealth application, DCC (Drugs Consumption Calendar), SMS gateway, voice calls, and video calls which provide health information and care for tuberculosis patients. It also can make patients obedient to taking medication to increase the TB cure rate. To describe the use of health information technology in pulmonary tuberculosis patients. The design of this study used a literature review of five articles from the PubMed database and Google Scholar. The instrument critical appraisal in this research used Strobe. There were 791 tuberculosis patients (76%) who used information technology in the form of mobile phones. The types of information used included Short Massage Service (SMS) (31% or 246 patients), using the telephone (17.4% or 221 tuberculosis patients), and using video calls (25, 1% or 199 patients). The health information. generally, were a schedule for taking medication and control, reminder to take medication, reporting if there were side effects that occur during treatment, prevention, transmission, food, and patient diet and counseling. The use of health information technology is very helpful in the treatment of TB patients starting from text messages, video calls, and voice calls to improve medication adherence in tuberculosis patients.Keywords: Mobile Health App, SMS, Tuberculosis, Information Technologv, Video Call AbstrakPengobatan tuberkulosis yang lama yaitu 6 bulan sering membuat pasien jenuh dan lupa untuk meminum obat serta menimbulkan ketidak patuhan.

SummaryObjective: No framework exists to identify and study unintended consequences (UICs) with a focus on organizational and social issues (OSIs). To address this shortcoming, we conducted a literature review to develop a framework for considering UICs and health information technology (HIT) from the perspective of OSIs.Methods: A literature review was conducted for the period 2000-2015 using the search terms “unintended consequences” and “health information technology”. 67 papers were screened, of which 18 met inclusion criteria. Data extraction was focused on the types of technologies studied, types of UICs identified, and methods of data collection and analysis used. A thematic analysis was used to identify themes related to UICs.Results: We identified two overarching themes. One was the definition and terminology of how people classify and discuss UICs. Second was OSIs and UICs. For the OSI theme, we also identified four sub-themes: process change and evolution, individual-collaborative interchange, context of use, and approaches to model, study, and understand UICs.Conclusions: While there is a wide body of research on UICs, there is a lack of overall consensus on how they should be classified and reported, limiting our ability to understand the implications of UICs and how to manage them. More mixed-methods research and better proactive identification of UICs remain priorities. Our findings and framework of OSI considerations for studying UICs and HIT extend existing work on HIT and UICs by focusing on organizational and social issues.

BACKGROUND The area of healthcare quality and patient safety is starting to use health information technology to prevent reportable events, identify them before they become issues, and act on events that are thought to be unavoidable. As healthcare organizations begin to explore the use of health information technology in this realm, it is often unclear where fiscal and human efforts should be focused. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to provide a foundation for understanding where to focus health information technology fiscal and human resources as well as expectations for the use of health information technology in healthcare quality and patient safety. METHODS A literature review was conducted to identify peer-reviewed publications reporting on the actual use of health information technology in healthcare quality and patient safety. Inductive thematic analysis with open coding was used to categorize a total of 41 studies. Three pre-set categories were used: prevention, identification, and action. Three additional categories were formed through coding: challenges, outcomes, and location. RESULTS This study identifies five main categories across seven study settings. A majority of the studies used health IT for identification and prevention of healthcare quality and patient safety issues. In this realm, alerts, clinical decision support, and customized health IT solutions were most often implemented. Implementation, interface design, and culture were most often noted as challenges. CONCLUSIONS This study provides valuable information as organizations determine where they stand to get the most “bang for their buck” relative to health IT for quality and patient safety. Knowing what implementations are being effectivity used by other organizations helps with fiscal and human resource planning as well as managing expectations relative to cost, scope, and outcomes. The findings from this scan of the literature suggest that having organizational champion leaders that can shepherd implementation, impact culture, and bridge knowledge with developers would be a valuable resource allocation to consider.

Health information technology (HIT) is increasingly adopted by nursing homes to improve safety, quality of care, and staff productivity. We examined processes of HIT implementation in nursing homes, impact on the nursing home workforce, and related evidence on quality of care. We conducted a literature review that yielded 46 research articles on nursing homes’ implementation of HIT. To provide additional contemporary context to our findings from the literature review, we also conducted semistructured interviews and small focus groups of nursing home staff (n = 15) in the United States. We found that nursing homes often do not employ a systematic process for HIT implementation, lack necessary technology support and infrastructure such as wireless connectivity, and underinvest in staff training, both for current and new hires. We found mixed evidence on whether HIT affects staff productivity and no evidence that HIT increases staff turnover. We found modest evidence that HIT may foster teamwork and communication. We found no evidence that the impact of HIT on staff or workflows improves quality of care or resident health outcomes. Without initial investment in implementation and training of their workforce, nursing homes are unlikely to realize potential HIT-related gains in productivity and quality of care. Policy makers should consider creating greater incentives for preparation, infrastructure, and training, with greater engagement of nursing home staff in design and implementation.
