Pilot testing of simulation in the evaluation of a novel, rapidly deployable electronic health record for use in disaster intensive care.
This purpose of this study was to present the application of simulation to assess a quickly scalable hub-and-spoke model for Electronic Health Record (EHR) system deployment and monitoring, utilizing asynchronous training. The researchers modified existing commercial EHR products to function as the entry point from a simulated hospital and a separate system for tele-ICU support and data monitoring. A modular video-based curriculum was developed for asynchronous training of users. The curriculum's effectiveness was evaluated through the completion of standard ICU documentation tasks in a high-fidelity simulation. Additional endpoints included EHR navigation assessment, user satisfaction (Net Promoter), system usability (System Usability Scale-SUS), and cognitive load (NASA-TLX). The study found that 5 participants achieved a 100% task completion rate in all domains, except for ventilator data (91%). The systems demonstrated high satisfaction, satisfactory usability, and acceptable cognitive load, with higher cognitive loads correlating to the number of screens used.
