  The Intensive Care Unit (ICU) is a complex and technologically advanced healthcare setting. Technologies enable continuous monitoring through patient signals that are sensed, recorded and displayed at the bedside. Although such technologies have significantly decreased mortality rates in the ICU, the large amounts of data have contributed to clinician information overload. Critical care nurses spend more than half of their time scanning and assimilating information from disparate monitors, at the bedside to assess the patient status. Software that integrates and allows visualization of large data sets on a single screen are now available. In the present study, we evaluated software entitled T3™ (Tracking, Trajectory and Triggering). Such computationally powerful software has great potential to support nurses’ monitoring and decision-making tasks but the usability, efficien.. Read More»
