TL;DR: The evidence indicates that there are a range of technical, social and organizational considerations that need to be deliberated when attempting to ensure that technological innovations are useful for both individuals and organizational processes.

TL;DR: Adoption of technology by older adults is still limited, though it has increased as compared with results of the previous study, and it is maintained that older adults are not yet ready to adopt health-related ICT.

TL;DR: The study provides guidance on the creation and use of profiles and personas to tap into the conceptual models of the targeted elderly population reflecting their preferences, capabilities and attitudes towards using technology in self-management care in general and the smart phone diabetes management application in particular.

TL;DR: A systematic review of HSH and HCH literature from indexed repositories for health care and technology disciplines and classified included studies according to an evidence-based public health (EBPH) typology found the majority of included studies were published in the period beginning in the year 2005.

TL;DR: This work advocates moving to ontology-based design of information systems to enable more reliable use of routine data to measure health mechanisms and impacts and identifies mechanisms to manage DQ in integrated CDM.

TL;DR: In this paper, a focus group interview with people living with HIV and young mothers was conducted to identify the dimensions and range of user preferences for application features by different user groups, and the key feature and design principle to reduce user burden and increase attractiveness and acceptability.

TL;DR: There is a distinct need for more comprehensive interventions, in which several technologies are integrated in order to be able to manage chronic conditions such as diabetes.

TL;DR: Evaluations immediately following implementation are inherently difficult, but was required because a key role was to inform decision-making upon enrollment at other hospitals and systematically identify barriers in this respect.

TL;DR: The transition into an era of evidence-based mHealth supports a group of researchers' position that innovation in this domain can be evaluated with the same rigor as other public health strategies, attenuating some of the hype previously associated with mHealth.

TL;DR: Evidence is provided that information needs of surrogate seekers are not being met, specifically of caregivers, and new functions that support surrogate seekers need to be developed.

TL;DR: Although HCI and usability principles are well established and robust, CDS and EHR system interfaces rarely conform to the best known design conventions and are seldom conceived and designed well enough to be truly versatile and dependable tools.

TL;DR: A failure to work jointly across the stakeholders on common policy frameworks will forego a crucial opportunity to boost key EU markets and counter global competition and the lack of harmonized policy across EU nations for trustworthy reuse of health data risks patient safety.

TL;DR: High accuracy is demonstrated in predicting the likely information to be gained from proposed future lab testing for eight common GI related lab tests, using ICU data from 746 patients with gastrointestinal bleeding, and eleven measurements.

TL;DR: In spite of the potential of online communities of opening up health care to the critical voice of the public, the analysis points to a synthesis of the otherwise opposite positions of empowerment and compliance in patient care.

TL;DR: There are currently many mHealth initiatives in Brazil, but some areas have not been much explored, such as solutions for treatment compliance and awareness raising, as well as decision support systems.

TL;DR: Home care work between relatives and home care workers is inherently a cooperative effort, and can be facilitated and augmented by new information technology such as CareCoor.

TL;DR: A systematic review of the literature on handovers found that omission of detailed patient information including anticipatory guidance during handovers was the greatest problem, and electronic patient record systems proved to be excellent information feeders to handover tools, but their role in collaborative grounding is unclear.

TL;DR: How the nurses' orientation can collide with the orientation that is represented by the technology and its implementation (the System Frame) resulting in adaptations at the individual and organization levels is described.

TL;DR: The use patterns and patients' appraisal of usefulness in this study provide important insights into cancer patients' information and communication behavior that are important for further improvements and the design of eHealth applications for illness management support.

TL;DR: Introducing EHR systems in RACH can also cause adverse consequences of EHR avoidance, difficulty in access, increased complexity in information management, increased documentation burden, reduction of communication and the risks of lacking care follow-up, which may cause negative effects on aged care services.

TL;DR: The CAALYX system can have a clear impact in increasing older persons' autonomy, by ensuring that they do not need to leave their preferred environment in order to be properly monitored and taken care of.

TL;DR: Based on the experience, CISSM provides a formative as well as summative tool for evaluating CIS success from the nurse's perspective and establishes its construct validity and reliability.

TL;DR: It is concluded that improved approaches to system design, testing, regulation, error reporting, safety education and cross-country collaboration will be needed to further promote safer HIT.

TL;DR: The results of the study suggest that more efforts are needed to exploit ICT to transform all domains of society in order to meet the challenges produced by a rapidly ageing population.

TL;DR: There are significant gaps in the safety initiatives for HIT systems with the exception of diagnostic, prognostic, monitoring and treatment software, which are subject to medical device regulations in some countries.

TL;DR: The evidence is inconsistent whether the current sensor systems can prevent falls and fall-related injuries in institutionalized elderly and further research should focus more comprehensively on user requirements and effective ways using intelligent alarms.

TL;DR: The analyzed apps reflected a variety of approaches to recording food intake and nutrition using different terminals--mostly mobile phones, followed by PCs and PDAs for older studies, designed mainly for users with obesity, diabetes mellitus and overweight, or people who want to stay healthy.

TL;DR: This study evaluated the usability of a widely used EHR interface that allow the entry of diagnostic terms, using multi-faceted methods to identify problems and work with the vendor to correct them using an iterative design method.

TL;DR: The experience of the four UK countries in introducing nationally accessible electronic summaries of patients' key medical details, intended for use in emergency and unscheduled care episodes, are compared to generate transferable lessons for other countries.

TL;DR: The Active Lifestyle app proved viable to support and motivate independently living elderly to autonomously perform balance and strength exercises and adds to the knowledge base into mobile-based applications for elderly, in that it shows that elderly users can learn to work with mobile- based systems.
