Task Design
Identify all prompts to include in online SBAR form.
While there is no standardized form, there are uniformities among all the forms available. We can gather all the most applied information to create a comprehensive, standardized form.
For examples of current SBAR forms available, visit our Project page: https://sites.google.com/stevens.edu/cpe-322-group-7/project.
Consult stakeholders to ensure our SBAR form is a successful universal standardization.
This shall ensure that our platform will be received well by nurses in all disciplines and can be used universally.
Develop a prototype of a digital form with all the prompts we have gathered.
The form itself shall be coded using C++, Python, and Java. We'll employ HTML and CSS to make the page visually accessible and user-friendly for nursing staff.
Connect the SBAR forms to a searchable database using MySQL. Steps for this process can be found here: https://five.co/blog/create-an-online-searchable-database/.
Conduct usability testing and gather additional information from nursing staff.
Use the feedback to iterate on the design and refine features to ensure alignment with the nurses needs.
Implement necessary security measures to ensure HIPAA compliance.
Implement using MySQL database with hospital staff credentials. Steps for this process can be found here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/relational-databases/security/authentication-access/create-a-login?view=sql-server-ver16.
Use the revision method to improve upon security and access controls, considering factors like user authentication, data encryption, and audit trails.
Start implementing in hospitals and nursing homes, and begin to train nursing staff.
Develop a comprehensive implementation plan, considering factors such as organizational readiness, training requirements, and deployment logistics.
Attributes of the Final Solution that Guide Decisions
Accessible and adaptable webpage that significantly reduces patient assessment time.
Standardized extensive SBAR form that can be applied to every field of nursing.
Secure form storage with searchable feature for improved patient status auditing.
Encrypted access to webpage that can solely be accessed by authorized hospital personnel.
Design Goals and Specifications
This program shall receive comprehensive patient assessment data from nursing staff that can be easily relayed to the next user. This data transfer shall not be corrupted and shall provide all information based on each patient. All data shall be stored successfully and securely for a detailed patient history and thus, better medical care.
The specs include each form entered and stored into the system, processing the data and compiling the information, and the security within the database for eliminating data leaks and risks of HIPAA violations.
Eliminate Paths that Do Not Satisfy Goals
Our primary concerns for this project are useability for nursing staff and security of patient data. Despite this, goals for UI/UX shall be basic especially for our first iteration and shall only later be improved upon after a skeleton of the product is created and stakeholders are advised. This project is meant to improve the workload and risks to nurses, and we would be remiss as to complete a webpage meant to be accessible to nurses without consulting them first. A path that also should be eliminated would be trying to create an app version of this software as that is not something worth focusing effort into. We need to ensure that this information being shared is very secured and not easily brought out of the grounds of the hospital as that would violate HIPAA guidelines.
