It is important for health services to be able to identify potential outliers with minimal effort as part of their daily evaluation of care data from patient record. This study evaluates the suitability of three statistical methods for identifying nursing outliers. The results show that by using methods implemented in the nursing workload measurement system "LEP" with reference to real data, unusual LEP minute profiles (movement, nutrition and so on) can be identified with little effort and therefore seem promising for application to the health services' daily evaluation process. The lessons learned are used to create requirement criteria for the further development of software solutions. It is recommended that the methods for identifying outliers in the daily evaluation process should be standardized in order to increase the efficiency of secondary use of care data from patient record.

Examining Intersectionality and Barriers to the Uptake of Video Consultations Among Older Adults From Disadvantaged Backgrounds With Limited English Proficiency: Qualitative Narrative Interview Study.
J Med Internet Res
January 2025
Department of Primary Care Health Sciences, University of Oxford, Oxford, United Kingdom.
Background: The rapid shift to video consultation services during the COVID-19 pandemic has raised concerns about exacerbating existing health inequities, particularly for disadvantaged populations. Intersectionality theory provides a valuable framework for understanding how multiple dimensions of disadvantage interact to shape health experiences and outcomes.
Objective: This study aims to explore how multiple dimensions of disadvantage-specifically older age, limited English proficiency, and low socioeconomic status-intersect to shape experiences with digital health services, focusing on video consultations.
Unpacking Performance Factors of Innovation Systems and Studying Germany's Attempt to Foster the Role of the Patient Through a Market Access Pathway for Digital Health Applications (DiGAs): Exploratory Mixed Methods Study.
J Med Internet Res
January 2025
Working Group for Data-Driven Innovation, Hamburg University of Technology, Hamburg, Germany.
Background: Health care innovation faces significant challenges, including system inertia and diverse stakeholders, making regulated market access pathways essential for facilitating the adoption of new technologies. The German Digital Healthcare Act, introduced in 2019, offers a model by enabling digital health applications (DiGAs) to be reimbursed by statutory health insurance, improving market access and patient empowerment. However, the factors influencing the success of these pathways in driving innovation remain unclear.

Diabetes Management Research, Steno Diabetes Center Copenhagen, Herlev, Denmark.
Background: Although commercially developed automated insulin delivery (AID) systems have recently been approved and become available in a limited number of countries, they are not universally available, accessible, or affordable. Therefore, open-source AID systems, cocreated by an online community of people with diabetes and their families behind the hashtag #WeAreNotWaiting, have become increasingly popular.
Objective: This study focused on examining the lived experiences, physical and emotional health implications of people with diabetes following the initiation of open-source AID systems, their perceived challenges, and their sources of support, which have not been explored in the existing literature.
