“…Feedback from therapists was that the use of the application changed their behaviour regarding use of the K10' thus creating a more collaborative measurement process which had tangible benefits for clients in terms of mental health literacy, communication of distress, therapy planning and monitoring. In this respect, our experiences are illustrative of the purported benefits of routine outcome assessment 5 and consistent with positive reports of tablet-based assessment in other fields 6,7 .…”

In this case report we describe the development and early trialling of an iPad application replicating the Kessler 10' (K10'), a widely used brief measure of psychological distress. The application was the result of a collaboration between a youth mental health outreach service (Youthlink), a private application developer (Enabled) and local health service IT support. Therapists reported greater engagement with the iPad version of the K10' compared to the pen/paper version and described how the application assisted them to collaboratively reflect with consumers on treatment progress.

Abstract. The range and availability of mobile applications is expanding rapidly. With the increased processing power available on portable devices, developers are increasing the range of services by embracing smartphones in their extensive and diverse practices. While usability testing and evaluations of mobile applications have not yet touched the accuracy level of other web based applications. The existing usability models do not adequately capture the complexities of interacting with applications on a mobile platform. Therefore, this study aims to presents review on existing usability models for mobile applications. These models are in their infancy but with time and more research they may eventually be adopted. Moreover, different categories of mobile apps (medical, entertainment, education) possess different functional and non-functional requirements thus customized models are required for diverse mobile applications.

“…A comprehensive planning phase, with needs assessment, stakeholders’ engagement, and setting goals and objectives, was paired with scoping visits to gather information as well as identify opportunities and challenges, and was critical in selecting context-specific approaches and building relationships and long-term partnerships. Buy-in from the stakeholders was an important factor in the successful implementation, as previously highlighted by other researchers [12,29,30]. Strategies were directed towards developing the most feasible and user-friendly mHealth platform possible, as well as providing appropriate educational and training opportunities to use and adapt to this platform.…”

“…Our study shows that a trauma database developed with tablet-based tools in major trauma centers could provide the basis for national injury surveillance and performance improvement initiatives in countries where such systems are underdeveloped and are widely needed [30,33–35]. Scaling up IIRU-TR to inform healthcare providers and administrators with respect to performance improvement and injury prevention is the ultimate goal of this multicenter registry.…”

Background: Trauma registries (TRs) play a vital role in the assessment of trauma care, but are often underutilized in countries with a high burden of injuries. Objectives: We investigated whether information and communications technology (ICT) such as mobile health (mHealth) could enable the design of a tablet-based application for healthcare professionals. This would be used to inform trauma care and acquire surveillance data for injury control and prevention in Oman. This paper focuses on documenting the implementation process in a healthcare setting. Methods: The study was conducted using an ICT implementation framework consisting of multistep assessment, development and pilot testing of an electronic tablet-based TR. The pilot study was conducted at two large hospitals in Oman, followed by detailed evaluation of the process, system and impact of implementation. Results: The registry was designed to provide comprehensive information on each trauma case from the location of injury until hospital discharge, with variables organized to cover 11 domains of demographic and clinical information. The pilot study demonstrated that the registry was user friendly and reliable, and the implementation framework was useful in planning for the Omani hospital setting. Data collection by trained and dedicated nurses proved to be more feasible, efficient and reliable than real-time data entry by care providers. Conclusions: The initial results show the promising potential of a user-friendly, comprehensive electronic TR through the use of mHealth tools. The pilot test in two hospitals indicates that the registry can be used to create a multicenter trauma database.
