Study Objectives: To describe the development and feasibility of a cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) program delivered via personal digital devices and fully integrated with the electronic health record (EHR).
Methods: A multidisciplinary team of clinicians and members of our Center for Digital Health collaborated to develop a Chronic Insomnia Interactive Care Plan (ChI-ICP), an application that provides personalized and just in time education and promotes self-management using CBT-I concepts, and is activated from and fully integrated into the EHR. Following development, we evaluated patient engagement and workflows, assessed changes to provider workload, and examined outcomes on measures of insomnia during a pilot deployment of the application.
Article Synopsis
- As reliance on medical devices increases, recalls can cause anxiety and disruptions for patients, especially with common devices like positive airway pressure treatment machines.
- An established recall plan helps healthcare providers respond quickly, minimizing stress and maintaining access for new patients while managing medical supplies.
- Clear and empathetic communication with patients during recalls not only reduces their anxiety but also improves the overall effectiveness of the recall response plan.
