Summary

This study is a single center, non-equivalent comparison group, pre-post study in a tertiary pediatric emergency department in Switzerland. the study will compare the control and experimental groups on outcome measures before (12-month period) and after (6-month period) the intervention consisting of the implementation and use of the evidence-based mobile app-the ''Patients In My Pocket in my Hospital'' (PIMPmyHospital) app.

The primary outcome will be the mean elapsed time in minutes between the delivery of lab results and the emergency department caregivers accessing them before (i.e., on the institutional electronic medical records) and after the implementation of the app (i.e, directly on the app).

Conditions

  • Pediatric Emergency Medicine
  • Therapeutic Turnaround Time

Interventions

DEVICE

PIMPmyHospital (mobile app)

After the implementation of the app, data will be collected prospectively over a 6-month period of use. This will include the times (HH:MM:SS) when the results issued by the central laboratory are made available on caregivers' mobile app and access times (as well as concurrent or preferred access times on the conventional computerized workstations should this occur).
