| Abstract | Introduction and Purpose: Ventilator-associated pneumonia is the second most common nosocomial infection that develops in patients admitted to the intensive care unit. The mortality rate for VAP ranges from 24% to 76% and is even higher than the primary illness. Based on the importance of this issue, many organizations have focused on strategies and guidelines to reduce the occurrence of complications such as ventilator associated pneumonia. Despite these guidelines, due to multi orders with different conditions and time periods, multi caregivers in the intensive care unit and human mistakes, still there are high rates of VAP. The purpose of this study is to provide an overview of real-time dashboards applications which were designed and implemented as a solution to reduce Ventilator-associated-pneumonia in Intensive Care Unit. Background: The VAP reduction dashboards in different research studies are implemented with real-time and visual data display features which help caregivers to know the existing condition. So they can do the necessary tasks. Besides, alerts and reminders are among the effective features of this software. Findings: Because of the representing order lists and the way tasks are done, VAP reduction dashboards, will reduce human mistakes regarding the time consumed and the way it is done. Also, representing history of finished tasks prevents mistakes caused by coordination between multiple caregivers, and finally clinicians begin to understand the importance of consistency in the clinical documentation templates and practices. Conclusion: Finally, using mobile or web based version, connecting dashboard to patient medical record, representing management information, using sensor and hardware for data entry and connecting dashboard to decision support system make VAP reduction dashboards more effective. |
