The organizational and clinical impact of integrating bedside equipment to an information system: a systematic literature review of patient data management systems (PDMS).

Abstract

The introduction of an information system integrated to bedside equipment requires significant financial and resource investment; therefore understanding the potential impact is beneficial for decision-makers. However, no systematic literature reviews (SLRs) focus on this topic. This SLR aims to gather evidence on the impact of the aforementioned system, also known as a patient data management system (PDMS) on both organizational and clinical outcomes.
