Abstract [en]

The purpose of this project is to minimize the number of care injuries occurring in healthcare, by optimizing and digitalizing the feedback and recording process for both patients and healthcare personnel. The solution was to create a web application-based survey system, called Act-Data, on the behalf of the data science company Data2Value. In ActData healthcare personnel can create custom surveys either from the ground up or from survey templates. These surveys can then be sent out to both patients or other healthcare personnel’s in order to be answered.The area of use for the surveys range from providing simple anonymous feedback in waiting rooms, to more complex variants designed to follow a patient all the way through a medical care process. Furthermore the application is developed with the option to be used as a medical recording system in Sub-Saharan countries such as Ethiopia and Rwanda, where medical records at present time primarily are kept as physical books and papers. This aspect of the project has been developed in collaboration with the non-profit burn injury foundation Brännskadefonden.

Abstract [sv]

Syftet med detta projekt är att minimera antalet vårdskador som inträffar inom sjukvården genom att optimera och digitalisera feedback- och journalprocessen för både patienter och sjukvårdspersonal. Lösningen var att skapa ett webbapplikationsbaserat enkätsystem, vid namn ActData, på uppdrag av data scienceföretaget Data2Value. I ActData kan sjukvårdspersonal skapa skräddarsydda enkäter antingen från grunden eller från enkätmallar. Dessa enkäter kan sedan skickas ut till både patienter och annan sjukvårdspersonal, för att därefter besvaras av dessa. Användningsområdet för enkäterna sträcker sig från enkla anonyma feedbackenkäter i väntrum till mer komplexa varianter, utformade för att följa en patient hela vägen genom en vårdprocess. ActData är utöver detta utvecklad med syftet att användas som ett medicinskt journalsystem i utvecklingsländer som Etiopien och Rwanda, där medicinska journaler för närvarande främst förs som fysiska böcker och papper. Denna aspekt av projektet har utvecklats i samarbete med den ideella organisationen Brännskadefonden.
