          Abstract

          Hintergrund

          Ärztliches Personal steht täglich unter hohem zeitlichen Druck. Eine ärztliche Aufgabe ist die Anforderung von radiologischer Diagnostik. Dieser Prozess zeichnet sich durch eine hohe administrative Komplexität und teils enormen zeitlichen Aufwand aus. Maßnahmen, die zugunsten der Versorgung von Patientinnen und Patienten zu einer administrativen Entlastung führen, fehlen bisher.

          Ziel der Arbeit

          Prozessoptimierung in der Anforderungsstellung von radiologischer Diagnostik. Als „proof of concept“ wurde in der unfallchirurgischen Abteilung am Universitätsklinikum Würzburg (UKW) die Anforderung radiologischer Diagnostik mittels einer Smartphone- und Tablet-basierten Applikation mit Spracheingabe eingeführt.

          Material und Methoden

          In einer prospektiven Studie wurden der zeitliche Effekt und die zeitliche Effizienz der mobilen, ukw.mobile App-basierten Anforderung (UMBA) im Vergleich zur PC-basierten Anforderung (PCBA) zur Anforderung radiologischer Leistungen analysiert. Ermittelt wurden die Zeit von Indikationsstellung bis zur fertigen Anforderung und die benötigte Zeit für die Anforderungserstellung am Endgerät. Aufgrund der Nichtnormalverteilung der Daten wurde ein Mann-Whitney-U-Test durchgeführt.

          Ergebnisse

          Die Zeit von der Indikation bis zur fertigen Anforderung konnte durch die mobile Anforderung statistisch signifikant ( p < 0,05) reduziert werden (PCBA: Mittelwert ± Standardabweichung [SD] 19,57 ± 33,24 min, Median 3,00 min, Interquartilsabstand [IQR] 1,00–30,00 min vs. UMBA: 9,33 ± 13,94 min, 1,00 min, 0,00–20,00 min). Die Zeit für die Anforderung am Endgerät konnte durch die mobile Anforderung ebenfalls statistisch signifikant reduziert werden (PCBA: Mittelwert ± SD 63,77 ± 37,98 s, Median 51,96 s, IQR 41,68–68,93 s vs. UMBA: 25,21 ± 11,18 s, 20,00 s, 17,27–29,00 s).

          Diskussion

          Das mobile, sprachunterstützte Anforderungsverfahren führt zu einer enormen zeitlichen Entlastung im klinischen Alltag und verdeutlicht das Potenzial einer anwenderorientierten, zielgerichteten Digitalisierung im Gesundheitswesen. In Zukunft soll der Prozess durch eine künstliche Intelligenz unterstützt werden.

          Background

          Time is a scarce resource for physicians. One medical task is the request for radiological diagnostics. This process is characterized by high administrative complexity and sometimes considerable time consumption. Measures that lead to an administrative relief in favor of patient care have so far been lacking.

          Aim of the study

          Process optimization of the request for radiological diagnostics. As a proof of concept the request for radiological diagnostics was conducted using a mobile, smartphone and tablet-based application with dedicated voice recognition software in the Department of Trauma Surgery at the University Hospital of Würzburg (UKW).

          Material and methods

          In a prospective study, time differences and efficiency of the mobile app-based method (ukw.mobile based Application = UMBA) compared to the PC-based method (PC-based application = PCBA) for requesting radiological services were analyzed. The time from the indications to the completed request and the time required to create the request on the device were documented and assessed. Due to the non-normal distribution of the data, a Mann-Whitney U test was performed.

          Results

          The time from the indications to the completed request was significantly ( p < 0.05) reduced using UMBA compared to PCBA (PCBA: mean ± standard difference [SD] 19.57 ± 33.24 min, median 3.00 min, interquartile range [IQR] 1.00–30.00 min vs. UMBA: 9.33 ± 13.94 min, median 1.00 min, IQR 0.00–20.00 min). The time to complete the request on the device was also significantly reduced using UMBA (PCBA: mean ± SD 63.77 ± 37.98 s, median 51.96 s, IQR 41.68–68.93 s vs. UMBA: 25.21 ± 11.18 s, median 20.00 s, IQR 17.27–29.00 s).

          Conclusion

          The mobile, voice-assisted request process leads to a considerable time reduction in daily clinical routine and illustrates the potential of user-oriented, targeted digitalization in healthcare. In future, the process will be supported by artificial intelligence.

          Workplace-Based Organizational Interventions Promoting Mental Health and Happiness among Healthcare Workers: A Realist Review

          Mental illness, deemed globally to account for 32% of years lived with a disability, generates significant impacts on workplaces. In particular, healthcare workers experience high rates of mental ill health such as burnout, stress, and depression due to workplace conditions including excessive workloads, workplace violence and bullying, which also produces negative effects on patients as well as on the happiness and wellbeing of those who remain at work. This review was undertaken to synthesize the evidence on workplace-based interventions at the organizational level promoting mental health and wellbeing among healthcare workers, to identify what has been receiving attention in this area and why, especially considering how such positive effects are produced. A search of three premier health-related databases identified 1290 articles that discussed healthcare workers, workplace interventions, and mental health. Following further examination, 46 articles were ultimately selected as meeting the criteria specifying interventions at the organizational level and combined with similar studies included in a relevant Cochrane review. The 60 chosen articles were then analyzed following a realist framework analyzing context, mechanism, and outcome. Most of the studies included in the realist review were conducted in high-income countries, and the types of organizational-level interventions studied included skills and knowledge development, leadership development, communication and team building, stress management as well as workload and time management. Common themes from the realist review highlight the importance of employee engagement in the intervention development and implementation process. The literature review also supports the recognized need for more research on mental health and happiness in low- and middle-income countries, and for studies evaluating the longer-term effects of workplace mental health promotion.

            Psychosocial stress among hospital doctors in surgical fields: results of a nationwide survey in Germany.

            The aim of this paper is to analyze psychosocial stress in the workplace among hospital doctors working in surgical fields in Germany with the aid of the demand-control model, the effort-reward imbalance model, and selected additional indicators. A written questionnaire was answered by a stratified random sample consisting of 1311 hospital doctors working in surgical fields in 489 hospitals in Germany. Validated instruments were used to make measurements according to the demand-control and effort-reward imbalance models. The working conditions of about a quarter of the hospital doctors surveyed were characterized by an effort-reward imbalance. 22% of them have "job strain" according to the demand-control model, i.e., they are confronted with high demands, yet have a low degree of control. Residents and assistant physicians not occupying training positions were both found to have an especially high degree of psychosocial stress. Furthermore, about one-fifth of the hospital doctors surveyed thought about giving up their profession at least a few times per month. 44% of them considered that the quality of patient care was sometimes or often impaired by an excessive physician workload. An investigation of psychosocial stress in the workplace among hospital doctors in surgical fields in Germany indicates that this group suffers from more severe stress at work than other occupational groups. Such working conditions pose a threat to these physicians' own health and to the quality of the health care that they provide.

              Physicians' occupational stress, depressive symptoms and work ability in relation to their working environment: a cross-sectional study of differences among medical residents with various specialties working in German hospitals

              Objectives This study aimed to analyse and compare differences in occupational stress, depressive symptoms, work ability and working environment among residents working in various medical specialties. Methods 435 German hospital residents in medical training working in 6 different medical specialties participated in a cross-sectional survey study. Physicians were asked about their working conditions and aspects of mental health and work ability. The Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire, the Work Ability Index, the ICD-10 Symptom Rating and the Perceived Stress Questionnaire were used to measure working conditions, mental health and work ability. Results Results show that up to 17% of the physicians reported high levels of occupational distress and 9% reported high levels of depressive symptoms. 11% of the hospital physicians scored low in work ability. Significant differences between medical specialties were demonstrated for occupational distress, depressive symptoms, work ability, job demands and job resources. Surgeons showed consistently the highest levels of perceived distress but also the highest levels of work ability and lowest scores for depression. Depressive symptoms were rated with the highest levels by anaesthesiologists. Significant associations between physicians’ working conditions, occupational distress and mental health-related aspects are illustrated. Conclusions Study results demonstrated significant differences in specific job stressors, demands and resources. Relevant relations between work factors and physicians' health and work ability are discussed. These findings should be reinvestigated in further studies, especially with a longitudinal study design. This work suggests that to ensure physicians' health, hospital management should plan and implement suitable mental health promotion strategies. In addition, operational efficiency through resource planning optimisation and work process improvements should be focused by hospital management.
