Should your hospital implement wireless solutions?

Abstract

A standards-based wireless patient monitoring technology can lead to significant improvements in productivity and workflow, provide the potential for reduced errors, and decrease the costs of patient care. A properly implemented wireless patient monitoring system can provide caregivers with increased access to vital patient information at all times. This will help health care institutions build a real-time care process, provide a continuous patient record across the continuum of care, and improve outcomes by creating an environment where clinicians can make evidence-based decisions.

How can we increase translation of research into practice? Types of evidence needed.

This review summarizes key factors that have interfered with translation of research to practice and what public health researchers can do to hasten such transfer, focusing on characteristics of interventions, target settings, and research designs. The need to address context and to utilize research, review, and reporting practices that address external validity issues-such as designs that focus on replication, and practical clinical and behavioral trials-are emphasized. Although there has been increased emphasis on social-ecological interventions that go beyond the individual level, interventions often address each component as if it were an independent intervention. Greater attention is needed to connectedness across program levels and components. Finally, examples are provided of evaluation models and current programs that can help accelerate translation of research to practice and policy.
