Digital Clinical Diet Registrations Advantages Clinical Trial
Official title:
Audit and Intervention of Diet Registration Method for Rehabilitation Patients at Hobro Hospital
Study aims to investigate whether dietary registration can be performed with greater precision using digital registration units (mobile devices), rather than conventional paper based dietary registers. Study intervention is based in the M3 rehabilitation unit, as part of Hobro hospital. The intervention will proceed until 6 full-day dietary registrations have been collected per patient (40 patients total), 3 for each registration method. The estimated time requirement is 30 days.
Study aims to investigate whether dietary registration can be performed with greater precision using digital registration units (mobile devices), rather than conventional paper based dietary registers. These mobile devices have been equipped with a dietary registration app, developed by the company Movesca ApS, specializing in digital healthcare solutions. Nurses, and other relevant staff members at the M3 rehabilitation unit at Hobro hospital, will be testing this alternative registration method, as they engage in their day-to-day dietary registration for in-house patients. The data collection requires 6 full-day dietary registrations from each individual patient (40 patients in total). Of these 6 registrations, 3 will be gathered using mobile devices and 3 using conventional paper based registers. The study primary endpoint is precision. The golden standard is dietary recall. The two methods will be assessed in accordance with their uniformity to the dietary recalls, which will be performed by the investigators following the meals. As a preemptive measure, an internal retrospective audit was performed, with dietary registration as the objective. This audit was completed to retrieve baseline data on dietary registration, and determine whether the rehabilitation unit conforms to the regulations set by the region. ;
