“…They are governed by patient information privacy laws described upon subscription to each app. [7] The Android and Apple apps of this type are passwordprotected, and examples used by clinicians in SA include Vula, Trello, Hospital Rounds Management, Rounds List and Dr. Rounds. Apps such as Trello can be used by multiple members of the same team, and a record of any changes made, and the details of the person applying changes, is kept.…”

“…The health industry in some countries is utilizing these devices and apps for the management of medical data, retrieval the patients' electronic medical records, clinical communication between physicians and patients (such as HealthJump App), trackers eye and skin diagnosis, blood pressure measurement and many more (Gan et al, 2016) (Gan et al, 2016). Using such improvements as EMR, and mobile-health (m-health) and likewise have been extensively recommended for their roles in enhancing the patient care quality in medical area (Moeinedin, 2011) together with the frequent and dramatic changes in the medical domain, which mandates the full acceptance of these systems by physicians and healthcare providers (Pai and Huang, 2011).…”

Purpose: the main objective is to explore the usability of medical mobile applications and to study the factors affecting the acceptance of the Electronic Medical Record Systems (EMRs) among physicians in Bahrain. Methodology: The study followed a quantitative design employing a questionnaire based on the Extended Technology acceptance Model (TAM2) to test the relationship between the acceptance of EMRs and the factors affecting it; System Perceived Usefulness (PU), Perceived Ease of Use (PEOU), Job Relevance and Output Quality in addition to descriptive questions to understand the extent of use of the mobile medical Apps among the physicians. The study covered 53 physicians from various hospitals across Bahrain. SPSS was used to analyze data. Findings: Acceptance of EMR is positively affected by US, EOU, Job Relevance and Output Quality and thus accepts all the intended hypothesis. Implication: the research emphasizes on the role of hospitals' management to introduce the importance, usefulness and impact of such technological advancements on the physicians work flow and quality of patient care and to provide effective training and support on how to use the implemented EMR so end-users may own the system.

“…To mention a few benefits, such technologies support better clinical decision making, facilitate better communication, and potentially improve patient outcomes [1,3]. Among the technologies that have become commonplace within health care are mobile devices, which have led to rapid growth in the development of medical software apps [1,[4][5][6]. These include apps used for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) guidance and support [7,8].…”

BACKGROUND The user requirements for in-hospital cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) support applications (apps) is understudied. To study usability, functionality, and design based on user requirements, we applied a mixed-methods research design using interviews, observations, and a Kano questionnaire to survey perspectives of both physicians and nurses. OBJECTIVE This study aims to identify what an in-hospital CPR support app should include to meet the requirements and expectations of healthcare professionals by evaluating the “CprPrototype” app. METHODS We used a mixed-methods research design. The qualitative methods consist of semi-structured interviews and observations from an advanced life support (ALS) course; both provided input to the subsequent questionnaire development. The quantitative method is a questionnaire based on the Kano model classifying user requirements as “Must-be,” “One-dimensional” (attributes causing satisfaction when present and dissatisfaction when absent), “Attractive,” “Indifferent,” and “Reverse” (attributes causing dissatisfaction when present and satisfaction when absent). The questionnaire was supplemented with comment fields. All respondents were physicians and nurses providing ALS at hospitals in the Central Denmark Region. RESULTS In total, 83 responded to the questionnaire, 15 physicians and nurses were observed during ALS training, and five physicians were interviewed. Based on the Kano questionnaire, 53% of requirements were classified as “Indifferent,” 29% as “Attractive,” and 18% as “One-dimensional.” The comments revealed seven different categories of user requirements with noticeable differences between physicians and nurses: “Technological challenges,” “keep track of time,” “documentation/history,” “disturbing element,” “improvement areas: functions,” “improvement areas: design,” and “better guidance.” CONCLUSIONS The study provides recommendations to developers on the user requirements that need to be addressed when developing CPR support apps. Three features (“One-dimensional” attributes) must be incorporated in an in-hospital CPR support app: “Reminder of rhythm check,” “Reminder of resuscitation drugs,” and “Differentiate between adults and children.” Five additional features (“Attractive” attributes) result in higher user satisfaction: “All functions on one side,” “access to the patient journal in the app,” “automatic time recording when cardiac arrest is called,” “sound to guide the chest compression rate (metronome),” and “send CPR history to the DANARREST database.”
