Documentation Completeness and Nurses' Perceptions of a Novel Electronic App for Medical Resuscitation in the Emergency Room: Mixed Methods Approach.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Complete documentation of critical care events in the accident and emergency department (AED) is essential. Due to the fast-paced and complex nature of resuscitation cases, missing data is a common issue during emergency situations.

Methods

A mixed methods approach was adopted. To collect quantitative data, randomized retrospective reviews of paper-based resuscitation records before implementation of the tablet (Pre-App Paper; n=176), paper-based resuscitation records after implementation of the tablet (Post-App Paper; n=176), and electronic tablet-based res
