“…20 Just as mobile messaging applications can expedite patient care discussions, they can also be used to provide didactic and discussion-based learning. 25,29 Although this has become more commonplace during the COVID-19 pandemic, Justicz et al further studied this format and found positive outcomes on written, oral, and practical assessments with average scores increasing from 24.6% to 86.9% following the WhatsApp-based curriculum. 25 As many institutions work to find a balance between inperson and virtual learning, further research must be conducted to determine the efficacy of each format.…”

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery - Global Open

Background: Over the past 10 years, smartphones have become ubiquitous, and mobile apps serve a seemingly endless number of functions in our everyday lives. These functions have entered the realm of plastic surgery, impacting patient care, education, and delivery of services. This article reviews the current uses of plastic surgery mobile apps, app awareness within the plastic surgery community, and the ethical issues surrounding their use in patient care. Methods: A scoping review of electronically available literature within PubMed, Embase, and Scopus databases was conducted in two waves in November and May 2022. Publications discussing mobile application use in plastic surgery were screened for inclusion. Results: Of the 80 nonduplicate publications retrieved, 20 satisfied the inclusion criteria. Articles acquired from the references of these publications were reviewed and summarized when relevant. The average American Society of Plastic Surgeons evidence rating of the publications was 4.2. Applications could be categorized broadly into three categories: patient care and surgical applications, professional development and education, and marketing and practice development. Conclusions: Mobile apps related to plastic surgery have become an abundant resource for patients, attending surgeons, and trainees. Many help bridge gaps in patient care and surgeon-patient communication, and facilitate marketing and practice development. Others make educational content more accessible to trainees and performance assessment more efficient and equitable. The extent of their impact on patient decision-making and expectations has not been completely elucidated.

Outcomes of Short‐Term Surgical Trips in Otolaryngology—Head and Neck Surgery: A Scoping Review

et al. 2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

ObjectiveThis scoping review aims to explore the current body of literature to characterize how short‐term surgical trips (STSTs) in Otolaryngology‐Head and Neck Surgery (OtoHNS) contribute to surgical, educational, and sustainability‐based outcomes in low‐ and middle‐income countries (LMICs). We aim to use these data to synthesize aspects of STSTs that are successful with the hopes of shaping future global efforts.Data SourcesData sources included Ovid MEDLINE, Ovid Embase, Ovid Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Ovid Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, and Scopus.Review MethodsA comprehensive search was conducted on several databases from inception to October 14, 2021. We included primary studies exploring any surgical or educational outcomes of global short‐term surgical endeavors within LMICs. Data were then extracted to evaluate the heterogenous body of literature that exists, characterizing the surgical, educational, and sustainability‐based outcomes.ResultsForty‐Seven studies were included in the final analysis. Most publications were focused on surgical interventions (39 of 47; 82.9%); 13 (27.7%) studies included education as the primary aim and 12 (25.5%) considered sustainability a significant aim. Of the 94 first and last authors, there were zero first authors and only one last author with an LMIC affiliation. Twenty‐six studies (55%) mentioned that any patients were seen in follow‐up, ranging from one day to five years.ConclusionOur scoping review demonstrates that most STSTs have focused primarily on surgical procedures with a lack of appropriate long‐term follow‐up. However, the available outcome‐based information presented helps identify factors that characterize a strong short‐term global surgical program.Level of EvidenceN/A Laryngoscope, 2023

“…One benefit of a WhatsApp referral group such as ORG is that clinicians can learn from all cases posted on the group. Referral groups can be expanded to become formalized teaching platforms for continued learning and education based on the most common posted conditions, [25][26][27] thereby empowering and educating junior community doctors and non-specialists to manage appropriate conditions at lower levels of care. 28 One disadvantage of WhatsApp as a referral mHealth tool is the potential violation of patient confidentiality during group discussion.…”

BACKGROUND: Traumatic fractures are common in sub-Saharan Africa, a region with a shortfall of orthopaedic surgeons, and can result in morbidity if not appropriately managed. WhatsApp is an encrypted smartphone application and ubiquitous in sub-Saharan Africa. The objective of this study was to assess the use of WhatsApp as a mobile health platform to support fracture management by non-orthopaedic doctors in Cape Town, South Africa. STUDY DESIGN: A WhatsApp orthopaedic referral group was created between non-orthopaedic doctors from community health clinics and the orthopaedic team from a first-level hospital to manage traumatic fractures. Non-orthopaedic doctors posted cases on the orthopaedic referral group and the orthopaedic team provided advice. Traumatic fracture data from January 1 to June 30, 2018 were analyzed and outcomes included response time, management advice, and treatment by facility level.
