Abstract

Providing helpful advice to nurses has great potential for decreasing medical errors. However, a notification without regard to their context may cause a medical error. To reveal the dependency between suitable information display methods and such parameters as nursing duties and the immediacy of advice, an experimental study with simulated patients was conducted in which 38 real nurses wearing an information display device on their wrists were asked to perform several nursing duties. Based on an analysis of questionnaires and the distribution of nurse response times after receiving the notification, we established guidelines for a context-aware notification system for nursing. By developing a system based on these guidelines, the system can safely display advice in a feasible and effective manner.
