Background: ST-elevated myocardial infarction (STEMI) is a critical and time-sensitive emergency. The survival depends on prompt initiation of treatment requiring high precision and multi-level coordination between healthcare staff. The use of a mobile application may facilitate prompt management and shorten the door-toballoon time by capturing information at the point of care and provide immediate feedback to all healthcare staff involved in STEMI management. The objective of the present study has two primary components: (i) to explore the suggestions and opinions of stakeholders in the development of a novel mobile app for code activation in management of STEMI patients (ii) to find out the healthcare workers' expectations including facilitating steps and challenges in the activation process of the proposed mobile app. Methods: Unstructured interviews were conducted with key informants (n = 2) to identify all stakeholders, who also helped in developing the interview protocol and prototype designs. In-depth, semi-structured, open-ended, face to face interviews were conducted on 22 stakeholders involved in managing STEMI patients. All interviews were recorded and transcribed verbatim. Data were analyzed using ATLAS.ti 8 software, allowing themes and subthemes to emerge.

Trauma Case Reports

A young male presented to a nearby hospital with a left shoulder dislocation after an alleged kickboxing injury. The patient reported worrying clinical findings including excruciating pain and absent sensation distally. Reduction was successful but his shoulder re-dislocated shortly after. His reported symptoms worsened and he was transferred to our institution. Imaging findings were not immediately concerning and he went to theatre the next day for an examination under anaesthetic. His shoulder was re-located easily and an immobiliser applied. Less than an hour later, the patient managed to re-dislocate his shoulder in recovery. He was subjected to another general anaesthetic and successful reduction. He absconded the following day after being declined multiple and increasing doses of opioid analgesia. He re-presented three weeks later with similar clinical findings but a different mechanism of injury. Further exploration of his collateral history revealed that he had been using a false identity. He had presented to all hospitals in our city within the previous 6 months. Once confronted, he did not return to these hospitals. He was also capable of self-relocating his shoulder. This case bore a striking resemblance to a case described by Warren in 2000 of a young lady with an apparently dislocated shoulder presenting to multiple city hospitals looking for analgesia and general anaesthetics. We wished to highlight the diagnostic and ethical challenges associated with these patients. They are vulnerable and so a high index of clinical suspicion is needed on the part of the surgeon to avoid unnecessary interventions. Effective communication between orthopaedic departments is a key recommendation from this case to mitigate risk of harm to these patients.

Background Complexity of health problems and aging of the population create an ongoing burden on the health care system with the general practitioner (GP) being the gatekeeper in primary care. In GPs daily practice, collaboration with specialists and exchange of knowledge from the secondary care play a crucial role in this system. Communication between primary and secondary care has shortcomings for health care workers that want to practice sustainable patient-centered health care. Therefore, a new digital interactive platform was developed: Prisma. Objective This study aims to describe the development of a digital consultation platform (Prisma) to connect GPs with hospital specialists via the Siilo application and to evaluate the first year of use, including consultations, topic diversity, and number of participating physicians. Methods We conducted a mixed methods observational study, analyzing qualitative and quantitative data for cases posted on the platform between June 2018 and May 2020. Any GP can post questions to an interdisciplinary group of secondary care specialists, with the platform designed to facilitate discussion and knowledge exchange for all users. Results In total, 3674 cases were posted by 424 GPs across 16 specialisms. Most questions and answers concerned diagnosis, nonmedical treatment, and medication. Mean response time was 76 minutes (range 44-252). An average of 3 users engaged with each case (up to 7 specialists). Almost half of the internal medicine cases received responses from at least two specialisms in secondary care, contrasting with about one-fifth for dermatology. Of note, the growth in consultations was steepest for dermatology. Conclusions Digital consultations offer the possibility for GPs to receive quick responses when seeking advice. The interdisciplinary approach of Prisma creates opportunities for digital patient-centered networking.
