Impact of integrated graphical display on expert and novice diagnostic performance in critical care.

Objective: To determine the impact of a graphical information display on diagnosing circulatory shock.

Materials And Methods: This was an experimental study comparing integrated and conventional information displays. Participants were intensivists or critical care fellows (experts) and first-year medical residents (novices).

Patient information organization in the intensive care setting: expert knowledge elicitation with card sorting methods.

Introduction: Many electronic health records fail to support information uptake because they impose low-level information organization tasks on users. Clinical concept-oriented views have shown information processing improvements, but the specifics of this organization for critical care are unclear.

Objective: To determine high-level cognitive processes and patient information organization schema in critical care.

Toward Designing Information Display to Support Critical Care. A Qualitative Contextual Evaluation and Visioning Effort.

Objectives: Electronic health information overload makes it difficult for providers to quickly find and interpret information to support care decisions. The purpose of this study was to better understand how clinicians use information in critical care to support the design of improved presentation of electronic health information.

Methods: We conducted a contextual analysis and visioning project.

The neuroscience nursing 2005 role delineation study: implications for certification.
