To evaluate the effectiveness of bowel preparation innovative technology instructions (BPITIs) among patients undergoing colonoscopy. We searched PubMed, MEDLINE, CINAHL, CENTRAL, Scopus, Web of Science, LILACS, ClinicalTrials.gov, and Google Scholar for randomised controlled trials (RCTs) and cluster-RCTs from inception to February 28, 2022. The Cochrane risk of bias (RoB) tool and GRADE were used to assess RoB and certainty of evidence, respectively. Meta-analyses with random-effects model were used for analysis. This review included 47 RCTs (84 records). Seven BPITIs were found among included studies: (1) mobile apps, (2) VDO stream from personal devices, (3) VDO stream from a hospital device, (4) SMS re-education, (5) telephone re-education, (6) computer-based education, and (7) web-based education. The findings demonstrate that BPITIs have a slight impact on adherence to overall instructions (RR 1.20, 95% CI 1.13–1.28; moderate-certainty evidence), adequate bowel preparation (RR 1.10, 95% CI 1.07–1.13; low-certainty evidence), and quality of bowel preparation score (SMD 0.42, 95% CI 0.33–0.52; low-certainty evidence) compared to routine care. BPITIs may enhance the clinical outcomes. Due to the low-certainty evidence and heterogeneity of the included studies, the findings should be interpreted cautiously. Well-designed and reported RCTs are required to confirm the findings.PROSPERO registration number: CRD42021217846.

Background: Adequate patient knowledge and engagement with their condition and its management can reduce re-hospitalisations and improve outcomes after acute admission for circulatory system disease.Aim: To evaluate the perceptions of cardio- or cerebrovascular patients of their satisfaction with discharge processes and to determine if this differs by demographic groups.Methods: A sample of 536 eligible public hospital inpatients was extracted from a consumer experience surveillance system. Questions relating to the discharge process were analysed using descriptive statistics to compare patient satisfaction levels against demographic variables.Results: Dissatisfaction rates were highest within the ‘Written information provided’ (37.8%) and ‘Danger signals communicated’ (34.7%) categories. Women and people aged ≥80 were more likely to express dissatisfaction.Conclusion: Although respondents were largely satisfied, there are important differences in the characteristics of those that were dissatisfied. The communication of important discharge information to older people and women was less likely to meet their perceived needs.

Trauma has significant impacts on the livelihoods and well-being of patients. Prompt emergency medical and nursing care is the key to reducing mortality rates. Digital platforms have become important for patient care. This research aimed to evaluate patient outcomes after implementing a novel web application operating system in trauma care. A descriptive comparative study was conducted on trauma patients. The patients were divided into two groups: those that used the developed application (n = 70) and those that did not (n = 70). The patient's characteristics, the time of the trauma team's arrival at the emergency department (ED), and the length of stay in the ED, and patients' outcomes were collected from electronic medical records and the application database. A statistical analysis was performed to evaluate this data. Sixty registered nurses who used the application completed the survey on the feasibility of the application. The activated trauma intervals for the non-application-used group and the application -used group were 5.0±1.1 and 3.1±0.4 minutes, respectively (p = .010). The length of stay in the ED for the non-application-used group and the application-used group was 30.1±5.1 and 18.3±6.2 minutes, respectively. A high level of agreement confirms the feasibility of the application. This application improves patient outcomes in terms of length of stay. This mobile application can improve the cooperation and communication and efficacy of the trauma care team.
