| الوصف: | Introduction: The Frailty Intervention Therapy Team (FITT) in St Columcille’s Hospital (SCH) was established in 2019 to improve care in the acute setting for the frail older population. The Emergency Department in the Home (EDITH) was set up in St Vincent’s University Hospital in 2020 to reduce Emergency Department visits for older patients. Rather than ED attendance, these patients receive medical and functional assessment from an ED doctor and Occupational Therapist in their own home. When EDITH assess a patient and deem them to need hospital admission to SCH, they contact SCH FITT to provide handover. This handover was initially provided via email which typically wasn’t received until after the patient’s admission to SCH. Due to the problems this delay caused (unnecessary repetition of assessments; delayed decision making regarding patient’s care), a 3 month pilot of the Siilo app was commenced in August 2021 to improve the flow of information between teams, facilitate timely decision making in SCH, and improve patient care.Siilo is a secure medical messaging app designed to facilitate instant communication of patient information between healthcare professionals in a confidential manner. Methods: A retrospective analysis of routinely collected information was completed to determine the time from EDITH assessment to receipt of handover in SCH. The 3 month period before the pilot was compared to the 3 month pilot period.A questionnaire to determine the effectiveness of Siilo was designed and completed by all EDITH and SCH Siilo users (n=7). Respondents were asked to rate speed, efficiency, accuracy, accessibility and confidentiality on a 4 point scale. Qualitative questions regarding positive and negative aspects, and future suggestions were also included. Results: In the 3 months before the pilot, 11 EDITH patients were transferred to SCH. Median time from EDITH assessment to receipt of handover was 20 hours. During the pilot, 9 EDITH patients were transferred. Median time to handover was 1 hour.Speed, ... |
