Type | Measure | Description | Time frame | Safety issue |
---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | Average time required for health monitoring operation during the 12-week period | The change in average daily operation time from using all-in-one health monitoring device compared to using traditional devices. The daily operation time from using all-in-one health monitoring device is recorded in log sheets by the staff. | 12 weeks | |
Secondary | Qualitative measure: Perceived acceptance in using all-in-one health monitoring device | The staff, residents and/or family caregivers answer the following question in a semi-structured qualitative interview:
Was it safe to use the new health monitoring device? (probing: how safe/ unsafe?) Do you want the new health monitoring device to be bigger or smaller? (probing: What is the problem for the current size? How much bigger/ smaller?) Was it easy or difficult to use the new health monitoring device? (probing: how easy/ difficult?) In the first place, to what degree did you expect the service users to comply with using the new health monitoring device? To what degree did you find the service users to comply with using the new health monitoring device? |
at the end of 12-week trial period | |
Secondary | Qualitative measure: Perceived benefits in using all-in-one health monitoring device | The staff, residents and/or family caregivers answer the following question in a semi-structured qualitative interview:
Because of using the new health monitoring device, are there changes in the workflow and manpower logistics of vital signs recording? Is the workflow of vital signs recording done faster or slower? (probing: how much faster/ slower? if faster, by how much do the time saving meet your expectation?) Do you find (other) benefits in using the new health monitoring device? |
at the end of 12-week trial period | |
Secondary | Qualitative measure: Perceived concerns in using all-in-one health monitoring device | The staff, residents and/or family caregivers answer the following question in a semi-structured qualitative interview:
In the first place, were you concerned about the new health monitoring device? Did you find these concerns in using the new health monitoring device? (probing: What were the events from which you confirm these concerns? Were the actual concerns larger or smaller than your expectations? If the event was malfunctioning, further probing: how did you or your colleagues fix it? How much time and effort was spent in fixing it?) Were there any unexpected concerns from using the new health monitoring device? (probing: What were the events from which you discover these concerns?) What suggestions would you make to future users of this health monitoring device to deal with these concerns? |
at the end of 12-week trial period |
