The use of technology for urgent clinician to clinician communications: a systematic review of the literature.
The aim of this study was to review the literature examining the role of devices and technology in facilitating urgent clinician–clinician communication to identify critical areas for future research. It found that most studies examining the effectiveness of communication devices in urgent contexts are before-and-after studies that relied on quantitative metrics focused on user satisfaction, method of use, and/or the effect on clinical communication.
