Distinguishing urgent from non-urgent communications: a mixed methods study of communication technology use in perinatal care.
This study investigated how hospital staff select communication technologies in a postpartum care setting, focusing on the distinction between urgent and non-urgent messages. Their findings revealed that staff generally preferred the hands-free device for urgent communications, while less pressing matters were typically addressed through secure messaging within the electronic health record. However, certain situations, such as when the recipient was in surgery or during sensitive discussions, warranted exceptions to this pattern. Analysis of the hands-free system usage showed that most calls lasted between 16 and 60 seconds, with extended conversations over 5 minutes being rare. The primary obstacle to successful communication was users failing to log into the system, accounting for 36% of incomplete calls. To address these issues and improve communication efficiency, the researchers suggest implementing an interruptive technology for urgent matters and utilizing electronic health record chat features for less time-sensitive information. Additionally, they recommend forwarding calls from the hands-free system to hospital-provided mobile phones for staff roles that don't align well with the hands-free communication workflow.

Implementation and evaluation of an electronic health record-integrated app for postpartum monitoring of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy using patient-contributed data collection.
This paper describes a pilot intervention of a smartphone app for postpartum monitoring of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) that integrates patient-contributed data into electronic health records (EHRs) to support monitoring and clinical decision-making. Results from the pilot evaluation highlighted the resources needed when implementing the app, challenges for integrating an app into the EHR, and the usability and utility of the HDP monitoring app for patient and clinician users. Key observations of the implementation team included the importance of a local clinical champion, more robust patient involvement and support for the remote patient monitoring program, an impetus for EHR developers to adopt data integration standards, and a need to expand the capabilities of the standards to support interventions using patient-contributed data.

Advancing perinatal patient safety through application of safety science principles using health IT.
Researchers used semi-structured interviews with Labor and Delivery (L&D) units participating in AHRQ's Safety Program for Perinatal Care (SPPC) to assess units' experience with program implementation. Seventy percent of the units reported the use of health IT as an enabling strategy for their local implementation. Health IT was used to improve standardization of processes, use of independent checks, and to facilitate learning from defects.
