Unmet information needs of clinical teams delivering care to complex patients and design strategies to address those needs.
The authors sought to identify the unmet information needs of clinical teams delivering care to patients with complex medical, social, and economic needs, and to propose principles for redesigning electronic health records (EHR) to address these needs. They concluded that developing EHR tools that are simple, accessible, easy to use, and able to be updated by a range of professionals is critical. They recommended that the identified information needs and design principles inform developers and implementers working in community health centers and other settings where complex patients receive care.

Understanding digital checklist use through team communication.
Introducing technology support in a complex, team-based work setting requires a study of teamwork effects on technology use. In this paper, the investigators present their initial analysis of team communications in a trauma resuscitation setting, where they deployed a digital checklist to support trauma team leaders in guiding patient care. They discuss design implications for checklist design for dynamic, team-based activities.

Improving acceptance of inpatient portals: patients' and care team members' perspectives.
Inpatient portals are gaining interest as a means to increase patient-centered care during hospitalization. However, acceptance of a new technology such as the inpatient portal relies on perceptions of both its usefulness and ease of use. These factors have not been studied in the context of inpatient portal implementation. In this study, the investigators interviewed patients and care team members about their experiences using an inpatient portal that had been implemented across a large, academic medical center.

A simple low-cost method to integrate telehealth interprofessional team members during in situ simulation.
This article describes the integration of remote telehealth electronic intensive care unit (eICU) personnel into in situ simulations with rural emergency department (ED) care teams and the technical challenges of creating shared awareness of the patient's condition and the care team's progress among the care team, the eICU, and those running the simulation. The purpose of the simulations was to introduce telehealth technology and new processes of engaging the eICU via telehealth during sepsis care in rural EDs; development of the scenarios included experts in sepsis, telehealth, and emergency medicine. A shared in situ simulation clinical actions observational checklist was created using an off-the-shelf survey software program. The checklist was completed during the simulations by an onsite observer, and shared with the eICU team via teleconferencing software to and cue eICU nurse engagement. Staff from the two EDs were engaged and an eICU nurse participated in debriefing via the telehealth video system.
