“…The studies that do consider hospital settings are often not focused on HWQS dashboards, but look instead at a single disease or treatment,22 financial23 or logistical dashboards 24. The few studies that do focus on QS dashboards concentrate on departmental QS dashboards, for example, radiology,25–27 nursing,28 neonatology29 or emergency room dashboards 30 31…”

Background Several countries have national policies and programmes requiring hospitals to use quality and safety (QS) indicators. To present an overview of these indicators, hospital-wide QS (HWQS) dashboards are designed. There is little evidence how these dashboards are developed. The challenges faced to develop these dashboards in Dutch hospitals were retrospectively studied. Methods 24 focus group interviews were conducted: 12 with hospital managers (n=25; 39.7%) and 12 support staff (n=38; 60.3%) in 12 of the largest Dutch hospitals. Open and axial codings were applied consecutively to analyse the data collected. Results A heuristic tool for the general development process for HWQS dashboards containing five phases was identified. In phase 1, hospitals make inventories to determine the available data and focus too much on quantitative data relevant for accountability. In phase 2, hospitals develop dashboard content by translating data into meaningful indicators for different users, which is not easy due to differing demands. In phase 3, hospitals search for layouts that depict the dashboard content suited for users with different cognitive abilities and analytical skills. In phase 4, hospitals try to integrate dashboards into organisational structures to ensure that data are systematically reviewed and acted on. In phase 5, hospitals want to improve the flexibility of their dashboards to make this adaptable under differing circumstances. Conclusion The literature on dashboards addresses the technical and content aspects of dashboards, but overlooks the organisational development process. This study shows how technical and organisational aspects are relevant in development processes.

“…Over the years, many dashboards for nurse leaders have been described in the literature, and they have included data elements such as nursing experience, staffing, vacancy levels and turnover rates, and patient harm metrics and satisfaction scores. [7][8][9][10][11][12] Advances in the organizational data infrastructure, such as a robust data warehouse and governance team, have laid the foundation for more sophisticated dashboards and nursing data analytics. This set of nursing dashboards for nurse leaders is the most comprehensive set authors are aware of.…”

Clinical units and their nursing staffs are heterogeneous. Advances in data and analytics provide opportunities to better match patient needs with nurse competencies. Building upon a previous publication on a unit profile dashboard, team members now describe development of a nursing dashboard aggregating characteristics of staff on each clinical unit of the hospital. This article describes methods, challenges, and future directions for nurse leaders to use the dashboards to optimize care delivery and patient and nurse outcomes.

Background: Today, the use of data in managerial and clinical processes is quite challenging due to the large volume of data, data collection from various sources, and lack of data structure. As a data management tool, dashboards play a critical role in facilitating a timely and efficient representation of data.Objectives: This systematic review aimed to identify functional and non- functional requirements, as well as challenges of using dashboards in hospitals.Methods: In this systematic review, four databases, including the Web of Science, PubMed, EMBASE, and Scopus, were searched to find relevant articles from 2000 until May 30, 2020. The final search was conducted on May 30, 2020. Data collection was performed using a data extraction form and reviewing the content of relevant studies on the potentials and challenges of dashboard implementation.Results: The functional requirements for dashboards included reporting, reminders, customization, tracking, alert creation, and assessment of performance indicators. On the other hand, the non-functional requirements included the dashboard speed, security, ease of use, installation on different devices (e.g., PCs and laptops), integration with other systems, web-based design, inclusion of a data warehouse, being up-to-data, and use of data visualization elements based on the user’s needs. Moreover, the identified challenges were categorized into four groups: data sources, dashboard content, dashboard design, implementation, and integration in other systems at the hospital level.Conclusion: Dashboards, by providing information in an appropriate manner, can lead to the proper use of information by users. In order for a dashboard to be effective in clinical and managerial processes, particular attention must be paid to its capabilities, and the challenges of its implementation need to be addressed.
