AI Article Synopsis
- A multi-disciplinary research team is testing speech-to-text (STT) technology for better managing clinical handover by converting voice recordings into text documents.
- The study focuses on nurses' perceptions of STT usability, using interviews during a "test day" and evaluating expectations through a user-task-technology framework.
- The findings will inform future field studies aimed at implementing STT technology in various hospital settings to improve patient care and reduce medical errors.
Article Abstract
A multi-disciplinary research team is undertaking a trial of speech-to-text (STT) technology for clinical handover management. Speech-to-text technologies allow for the capture of handover data from voice recordings using speech recognition software and systems. The text documents created from this system can be used together with traditional handover notes and checklists to enhance the depth and breadth of data available for clinical decision-making at the point of care and so improve patient care and reduce medical errors. This paper reports on a preliminary study of perceived usability by nurses of speech-to-text technology based on interviews at a "test day" and using a user-task-technology usability framework to explore expectations of nurses of the use of speech-to-text (STT) technology for clinical handover. The results of this study will be used to design field studies to test the use of speech-to-text (STT) technologies at the point of care in several hospital settings.

Background: Cork University Hospital, Ireland's largest teaching hospital, faced challenges in maintaining consistent handover processes in its Acute Mental Health Unit (AMHU). Prior to 2019, handovers relied on informal methods, risking information loss and compromising patient care. This quality improvement (QI) initiative aimed to standardise handover practices using an electronic tool integrated with the ISBAR communication protocol.

Problem: Despite the significance of the perinatal period, postnatal care remains insufficient for optimising long-term health.
Background: The perinatal period is a vulnerable time in a woman's life-course health trajectory. Supporting transitions from hospital to primary care is essential to promote health and guide evidence-based follow-up care.

Background: Prior reviews have shown that interventions to improve inpatient handoffs are inconsistently associated with improvement in patient outcomes. This systematic review examines the effectiveness of inpatient handoff interventions on outcomes affecting patients and physicians, including objective measures when reported (PROSPERO ID: CRD42022309326).

Unlabelled: Standardized transfer is an evidence-based framework designed to improve communication between healthcare professionals, reducing risks and ensuring safe, high-quality care. Despite its benefits, implementing this framework in clinical practice poses challenges. Nurses often do not use a systematic guide as a theoretical framework for handovers in daily practice.
