Assignment: Literature Review: The Use of Clinical Systems to Improve Outcomes and Efficiencies NURS 5051

New technology — and the application of existing technology — is introduced into healthcare settings only after extensive research. The stakes are high, and new clinical systems must demonstrate a positive effect on patient outcomes or efficiency.

Clinical system strategies are developed by nurse informaticists and healthcare leaders. Due to the fact that these strategies are frequently based on technological trends, informaticists and others benefited from consulting existing research to guide their thinking.

In this Assignment, you will review existing research focused on the application of clinical systems. After reviewing, you will summarize your findings.

Literature Review: The Use of Clinical Systems to Improve Outcomes and Efficiencies

Mobile technologies have largely been used to improve the care given to patients in the modern world. Mobile technologies provide patients and care givers the opportunity to interact on issues related to health. Mobile health technologies have been shown to provide options for low-cost and effective care for patient populations with chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart failure and obesity. mHealth technology is one of the mobile health technologies that is used for the management of health problems such as smoking, obesity, heart disease and tuberculosis. mHealth uses technologies such as applications that provide the needed health education messages for positive lifestyle and behavioral change in populations at risk of health problems. The use of mHealth technology has been shown to result in outcomes such as patient satisfaction, increased access to care and reduction in cost of care incurred by patients and healthcare providers. Therefore, this research paper examines the outcomes of using mHealth technologies in health.

mHealth technologies are effective when used in the management of diabetes and obesity. The above study investigated the effectiveness of mhealth interventions for diabetes and obesity treatment as well as self-management. The study was a systematic review of studies conducted in the past on the topic. The authors performed a comprehensive analysis of the interventional studies on mhealth use in treatment of obesity and diabetes and developed recommendations for future practice and research. The articles used in the study were obtained from PubMed database where the inclusion criteria included those that focused on the topic of the study and published between 2000 and 2016. The application of the developed inclusion and exclusion criteria led to 24 articles, which mhealth interventions that included text messaging, monitoring devices and applications running on smartphones. The primary outcomes of the investigation included weight loss and reduction or maintenance of blood glucose level. The secondary outcomes of the investigation included behavioral changes, self-efficacy and acceptability of the use of mhealth programs. The analysis of data revealed that the use of mhealth technologies was associated with more than 50% improvement in weight, blood glucose, behavioral change, self-efficacy, and acceptability of use of the technology. The effects of the mhealth interventions were sustained over a long-term period, translating into the effective management of diabetes and obesity. The lesson learned from this article is that mhealth technologies are associated with significant benefits in use in chronic diseases such as obesity and diabetes. The technology also promotes self-management of these conditions as seen in the improvement in the self-efficacy and behavioral change of the participants. Therefore, mhealth should be incorporated into the management interventions for chronic illnesses in health.

To Prepare:

Review the Resources and reflect on the impact of clinical systems on outcomes and efficiencies within the context of nursing practice and healthcare delivery.

Assignment Literature Review The Use of Clinical Systems to Improve Outcomes and Efficiencies NURS 5051

Conduct a search for recent (within the last 5 years) research focused on the application of clinical systems. The research should provide evidence to support the use of one type of clinical system to improve outcomes and/or efficiencies, such as “the use of personal health records or portals to support patients newly diagnosed with diabetes.”
