TL;DR: The extent to which national audit dashboards are used and the strategies national audits use to encourage uptake, a realist review of the impact of dashboards, and rigorous evaluations of theimpact ofDashboards and the effectiveness of adoption strategies should be explored.
Abstract:
National audits aim to reduce variations in quality by stimulating quality improvement. However, varying provider engagement with audit data means that this is not being realised.
The aim of the study was to develop and evaluate a quality dashboard (i.e. QualDash) to support clinical teams’ and managers’ use of national audit data.
The study was a realist evaluation and biography of artefacts study.
The study involved five NHS acute trusts.
In phase 1, we developed a theory of national audits through interviews. Data use was supported by data access, audit staff skilled to produce data visualisations, data timeliness and quality, and the importance of perceived metrics. Data were mainly used by clinical teams. Organisational-level staff questioned the legitimacy of national audits. In phase 2, QualDash was co-designed and the QualDash theory was developed. QualDash provides interactive customisable visualisations to enable the exploration of relationships between variables. Locating QualDash on site servers gave users control of data upload frequency. In phase 3, we developed an adoption strategy through focus groups. ‘Champions’, awareness-raising through e-bulletins and demonstrations, and quick reference tools were agreed. In phase 4, we tested the QualDash theory using a mixed-methods evaluation. Constraints on use were metric configurations that did not match users’ expectations, affecting champions’ willingness to promote QualDash, and limited computing resources. Easy customisability supported use. The greatest use was where data use was previously constrained. In these contexts, report preparation time was reduced and efforts to improve data quality were supported, although the interrupted time series analysis did not show improved data quality. Twenty-three questionnaires were returned, revealing positive perceptions of ease of use and usefulness. In phase 5, the feasibility of conducting a cluster randomised controlled trial of QualDash was assessed. Interviews were undertaken to understand how QualDash could be revised to support a region-wide Gold Command. Requirements included multiple real-time data sources and functionality to help to identify priorities.
Audits seeking to widen engagement may find the following strategies beneficial: involving a range of professional groups in choosing metrics; real-time reporting; presenting ‘headline’ metrics important to organisational-level staff; using routinely collected clinical data to populate data fields; and dashboards that help staff to explore and report audit data. Those designing dashboards may find it beneficial to include the following: ‘at a glance’ visualisation of key metrics; visualisations configured in line with existing visualisations that teams use, with clear labelling; functionality that supports the creation of reports and presentations; the ability to explore relationships between variables and drill down to look at subgroups; and low requirements for computing resources. Organisations introducing a dashboard may find the following strategies beneficial: clinical champion to promote use; testing with real data by audit staff; establishing routines for integrating use into work practices; involving audit staff in adoption activities; and allowing customisation.
The COVID-19 pandemic stopped phase 4 data collection, limiting our ability to further test and refine the QualDash theory. Questionnaire results should be treated with caution because of the small, possibly biased, sample. Control sites for the interrupted time series analysis were not possible because of research and development delays. One intervention site did not submit data. Limited uptake meant that assessing the impact on more measures was not appropriate.
The extent to which national audit dashboards are used and the strategies national audits use to encourage uptake, a realist review of the impact of dashboards, and rigorous evaluations of the impact of dashboards and the effectiveness of adoption strategies should be explored.

TL;DR: In this article , an IoT-centric multi-activity recognition system is proposed and deployed on the cloud platform for activity data tracking in the smart home environment, where the real-time data collected using IMU sensors and transmitted to the IoT-Edge Server via Wi-Fi where the data has been fused and classified using light-weight deep learning models.
Abstract: In recent times, numerous human activity recognition (HAR) schemes have been proposed with embedding sensors, wearable devices, smart phones, and vision and ambient sensors. Though the systems have shown better performance they are mostly standalone and still lack the ability to share, host, and perform real-time analysis and visualization of activity data. The Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm has a solution to render the limitations and this will pave the way for HAR in the smart home environment. Thus in this article, an IoT-centric multiactivity recognition system is proposed and deployed on the cloud platform for activity data tracking in the smart home environment. The proposed system collects the real-time data collected using IMU sensors and transmitted to the IoT-Edge Server via Wi-Fi where the data has been fused and classified using light-weight deep learning models. This system has a provision of a Web-based dashboard which is helpful for the home dwellers to monitor the activities in the remote. The performance evaluation justified that the developed system can measure IoT-based activity recognition with greater efficiency in terms of accuracy and F1-score in a shorter response time as of deployment in the cloud platform to detect the activity.

22 Apr 1999TL;DR: In this paper, the airbag housing is mounted in an opening in the dashboard and is held by means of an attachment by the steering support element, which comprises an entry-slot for reaching into a support.
Abstract: The airbag housing (5) is mounted in an opening in the dashboard (1) and is held by means of an attachment (9) by the steering support element (11). The fixture comprises an entry-slot for reaching into a support (12) on the steering support element. A curved part fits into the opening and is positioned at the lower end of the airbag attachment. A screw (16) fixes the airbag attachment to the support. A shock absorber (8) is attached to the airbag attachment.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe a dashboard assembly with a guide unit deploying an air bag of a safety device and fixed to an internal side of a board, and a connecting unit is fixed separately at the board in a peripheral zone external to the flange.
Abstract: The assembly has a guide unit deploying an air bag of a safety device and fixed to an internal side of a board. The unit has a peripheral fixing flange (42) to delimit interiorly an opening zone of the board and passage of the bag. A connecting unit (70) has a unit (91) to fix in the device, and is distinct from the guide unit. The connecting unit is fixed separately at the board in a peripheral zone external to the flange. Independent claims are also included for the following: (a) a process for manufacturing a dashboard assembly (b) a motor vehicle having a dashboard assembly.
