title: Representativeness comparisons of nurse and computer charting of heart rate across nursing-intensity protocols.
abstract: Clinical teams in acute inpatient settings can greatly benefit from automated charting technologies that continuously monitor patient vital status. NewYork-Presbyterian has designed and developed a real-time patient monitoring system that integrates vital signs sensors, networking, and electronic health records, to allow for automatic charting of patient status. We evaluate the representativeness (a combination of agreement, safety and timing) of a core vital sign across nursing intensity care protocols for preliminary feasibility assessment. Our findings suggest an automated way of summarizing heart rate provides representation of true heart rate status and can facilitate alternatives approaches to burdensome manual nurse charting of physiological parameters.
