Objective To design a mobile app based on the needs of the onco-hematological patient receiving oral antineoplastic agents. Methods A multidisciplinary working group (pharmacy–oncology–hematology) was created to design the app. The study was developed in three phases: first, we analyzed the features of patients receiving oral antineoplastic agents. We then analyzed available apps for cancer patients. Finally, we designed the app's functionalities. Results We included 51 patients with middle-advanced age (68.7 years (SD=10.7)). They were polymedicated (mean: 5.3 (SD = 2.7), with numerous drug–drug interactions and adverse effects (all patients presented adverse effects). We then analyzed 166 apps. Most apps had more than one use, the most frequent being information (39.8%) and diagnosis (38.6%). Ten apps (6%) were for registering and monitoring treatment and adverse effects. Almost half of the apps (48.8%) were developed by healthcare organizations. Finally, we designed an app (e-OncoSalud®) with the following functionalities: (a) agenda; (b) treatment and drug interactions checker; (c) continuous recording of self-controls (weight, blood pressure, general condition) and adverse effects. The management of the adverse effects are based on an algorithm which provides different recommendations according to the adverse effects severity; (d) patient–pharmacist messaging in real-time; (e) education. Conclusions After analysis of the main problems affecting these patients and the needs not covered by the existing apps, we designed e-OncoSalud®. It integrates relevant information about their treatment, focused on drug interactions identification and the prevention, and management of adverse effects.

Erste Hilfe

Die Smartphone-App „Mobile Retter“ lenkt Ersthelfer in Minutenschnelle zu einem Notfall. Für Notfallpatienten steigen damit die Überlebenschancen, weil die mobilen Retter jene kritischen Minuten überbrücken, bis der Rettungsdienst eintrifft. Nach dem erfolgreichen Start im Landkreis Gütersloh vor drei Jahren setzen immer mehr Landkreise auf diese Software.

Abstract:Today, the demand for medical decision support to improve the quality of patient care and to reduce costs in health services is generally recognized. Nevertheless, decision support is not yet established in daily routine within hospital information systems which often show a heterogeneous architecture but offer possibilities of interoperability. Currently, the integration of decision support functions into clinical workstations is the most promising way. Therefore, we first discuss aspects of integrating decision support into clinical workstations including clinical needs, integration of database and knowledge base, knowledge sharing and reuse and the role of standardized terminology. In addition, we draw up functional requirements to support the physician dealing with patient care, medical research and administrative tasks. As a consequence, we propose a general architecture of an integrated knowledge-based clinical workstation. Based on an example application we discuss our experiences concerning clinical applicability and relevance. We show that, although our approach promotes the integration of decision support into hospital information systems, the success of decision support depends above all on an adequate transformation of clinical needs.
