The complex work processes and communication patterns exhibited in Emergency Medicine may be effectively managed through the use of information technology. These tools must be evaluated within the work environment to understand their effects on work flow, information flow, and patient safety. In this study the efficiency of the Emergency Department triage process was evaluated pre- and post- implementation of a computerized triage system. Time-and-motion analyses revealed no changes in triage documentation time; however, the duration of interruptions and the number of tasks decreased significantly.

Developing an intelligent phone-based emergency triage communication and support system.
In this study, the emergency triage support system was taken as an example. We develop new call flow style and combine traditional passive call flow. ⋯ Then the recognition term come from voice term database. Voice management center is an ER triage decision system.

ReviewDeterminants of success for computerized clinical decision support systems integrated in CPOE systems: a systematic review.
We carried out a systematic review of published trials to identify the methodological characteristics of studies and technical characteristics of computerized clinical decision support systems (CCDSSs) associated with efficacy for the main outcome of the study. Four characteristics of the content of decision support and the way in which the user is provided with assistance seem to be associated with the success of CCDSSs: a) System-initiated interventions, b) Assistance without user control over output, c) Systems in which data are automatically retrieved from the electronic medical record and d) Systems providing corollary actions in CPOE. Major differences in outcome reporting between studies could be reduced by the use of dedicated tools to standardize methodological reporting.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyEffect of e-mail versus postal reminders for mammogram screening.
A randomized controlled trial was undertaken to measure the efficacy of a patient reminder system for females age 40 - 75 in a Midwestern primary care practice. A subset of the population whose email addresses were known was further randomized to measure the effect of email versus postal reminders. A statistically significant increase in completion rates was observed in the intervention group while no difference was found between the email and postal mail groups.

Randomized Controlled TrialA computerized decision support system improves the accuracy of temperature capture from nursing personnel at the bedside.
To assess the effect of a computerized decision support system (CDSS) on the accuracy of patient temperature recording at the bed side. ⋯ CDSS are effective with nursing personnel in improving the accuracy of temperature capture at the bedside.
