“…Moreover, tablet computer have gradually shown many advantages and have entered medicalrelated industries such as neurology, anesthesia-related nursing, hearing examination, orthopedics, and rehabilitation [28][29][30][31][32][33]. Many doctors, nurses, and pharmacists have applied mobile digitalization to clinical treatment, but it is relatively rare for the hospital pharmacy business in China to do so [34][35][36]. There are many reports of digitalization in medical care and nursing transformation and fewer reports on the impact of pharmacy workflow in hospitals.…”

Background Drug closed-loop management reflects the level of hospital management and pharmacist service. It is a challenge for hospital pharmacists to realize the whole-process closed-loop management of drugs in hospital pharmacies. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the operational effect of using mobile technology to build a closed-loop drug management system. Methods Using mobile technology, replacing the traditional paper dispensing model and constructing a multinode information collection system according to the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society Standard, we reformed the hospital information system and inpatient pharmacy workflow and then evaluated the new approach using statistical methods. Results After the transformation, the entire process of drug data can be traced. Closed-loop management, as well as real-time data verification and control, thereby improves the work efficiency and reduces the drug dispensing time. By reducing the work error rate, the number of dispensing errors decreased from 5 to 1 case/month. The comprehensive dispensing process can achieve the whole workflow of paperless operation and reduce the use of paper A4 by 180,000 pieces per year. Conclusions Mobile technology can improve the service level of pharmacies, enhance the level of drug management and hospital quality management, ensure the safety of medication for inpatients, and significantly reduce the amount of paper used.

“…26 The remaining studies had no explicit definition for engagement in HIV care. [27][28][29][30] The most comprehensive definitions of engagement in the literature were studies that included four of the elements described in Figure 2. One study considered engagement to be a combination of appointment adherence, lab testing, ART adherence, and self-reported engagement measures.…”

Introduction Engagement in the HIV care cascade is required for people living with HIV (PLWH) to achieve an undetectable viral load. However, varying definitions of engagement exist, contributing to heterogeneity in research regarding how many individuals are actively participating and benefitting from care. A standardized definition is needed to enhance comparability and pooling of data from engagement studies. Objectives The objective of this paper was to describe the various definitions for engagement used in HIV clinical trials. Methods Articles were retrieved from CASCADE, a database of 298 clinical trials conducted to improve the HIV care cascade ( https://hivcarecascade.com/ ), curated by income level, vulnerable population, who delivered the intervention, the setting in which it was delivered, the intervention type, and the level of pragmatism of the intervention. Studies with engagement listed as an outcome were selected from this database. Results 13 studies were eligible, of which five did not provide an explicit definition for engagement. The remaining studies used one or more of the following: appointment adherence (n=6), laboratory testing (n=2), adherence to antiretroviral therapy (n=2), time specification (n=5), intervention adherence (n=5), and quality of interaction (n=1). Conclusion This paper highlights the existing diversity in definitions for engagement in the HIV care cascade and categorize these definitions into appointment adherence, laboratory testing, adherence to antiretroviral therapy, time specification, intervention adherence, and quality of interaction. We recommend consensus on how to describe and measure engagement.
