SCCM Resource Library-August Journal Club: Critical Care Medicine (2022)

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The webcast featured two articles from the August 2022 issue of Critical Care Medicine. The first article presented a systematic review on the impact of health information technology (HIT) for early detection of patient deterioration on mortality and length of stay in acute care settings. The review found that while some studies showed a significant association between HIT implementation and decreased hospital mortality and length of stay, others did not find any significant improvement. The researchers suggested that this discrepancy may be due to confounders, such as practice advances and quality improvement initiatives, rather than the HIT implementation itself. They also highlighted the need for further research and development of HIT technologies that are based on the understanding of clinicians' information needs and processes, as well as the importance of patient-centered outcomes. The second article presented a scoping review on patient, public, and healthcare professional sepsis awareness, knowledge, and information-seeking behavior. The review found that public sepsis knowledge is generally low but slowly improving over time. There is also a lack of global consensus on a sepsis definition, with variations in understanding among healthcare professionals and the public. The review highlighted the importance of raising awareness of sepsis and improving the dissemination of accurate and understandable information, particularly through media and the internet. The researchers also emphasized the need for local data to identify knowledge gaps and preferences for sepsis information. Overall, both articles underscore the need for ongoing research and improvement in the use of health information technology and the importance of raising awareness and knowledge of sepsis.
