Timeliness of notification systems for infectious diseases: A systematic literature review

et al. 2018

IntroductionTimely notification of infectious diseases is crucial for prompt response by public health services. Adequate notification systems facilitate timely notification. A systematic literature review was performed to assess outcomes of studies on notification timeliness and to determine which aspects of notification systems are associated with timely notification.MethodologyArticles reviewing timeliness of notifications published between 2000 and 2017 were searched in Pubmed and Scopus. Using a standardized notification chain, timeliness of reporting system for each article was defined as either sufficient (≥ 80% notifications in time), partly sufficient (≥ 50–80%), or insufficient (< 50%) according to the article’s predefined timeframe, a standardized timeframe for all articles, and a disease specific timeframe. Electronic notification systems were compared with conventional methods (postal mail, fax, telephone, email) and mobile phone reporting.Results48 articles were identified. In almost one third of the studies with a predefined timeframe (39), timeliness of notification systems was either sufficient or insufficient (11/39, 28% and 12/39, 31% resp.). Applying the standardized timeframe (45 studies) revealed similar outcomes (13/45, 29%, sufficient notification timeframe, vs 15/45, 33%, insufficient). The disease specific timeframe was not met by any study. Systems involving reporting by laboratories most often complied sufficiently with predefined or standardized timeframes. Outcomes were not related to electronic, conventional notification systems or mobile phone reporting. Electronic systems were faster in comparative studies (10/13); this hardly resulted in sufficient timeliness, neither according to predefined nor to standardized timeframes.ConclusionA minority of notification systems meets either predefined, standardized or disease specific timeframes. Systems including laboratory reporting are associated with timely notification. Electronic systems reduce reporting delay, but implementation needs considerable effort to comply with notification timeframes. During outbreak threats, patient, doctors and laboratory testing delays need to be reduced to achieve timely detection and notification. Public health authorities should incorporate procedures for this in their preparedness plans.

“…As a result, pharmacological treatment was delayed. 21 Misrepresentation or underrepresentation of EHR data was identified in 45 clinical scenarios gleaned from system logs, vendor reports, and Food and Drug Administration reports. These threaten a clinical team's shared understanding of patient needs because of inconsistencies.…”

In response to unprecedented financial government incentives, electronic health record (EHR) adoption has tripled since 2009. While EHR benefits are emphasized, research demonstrates that adoption may result in unintended consequences that nurse administrators can anticipate and mitigate. Unintended consequences are defined as unplanned effects, whether positive or negative. Little is known about nursing perceptions and experience of unintended consequences arising from EHR implementation, and nursing studies are minimal in comparison with research on experience among their interprofessional colleagues. The purpose of this article is to present the state of the science on nurses' experiences with unintended consequences of EHRs derived from a systematic review that includes 4 original studies. Findings demonstrate that nurses experience changes to workflow, must continually adapt to meet patient's needs in the context of imperfect EHR systems, and have difficulty accessing the information they need to make patient care decisions. Even so, most state they would not revert to paper records if given the choice. Implications for nurse administrators include the need for continual engagement with nurses along the continuum of EHR design, as well as the need to encourage nurses to speak up and acknowledge workflow changes that threaten patient safety or do not support work efficiency.
