iJLR: An Ergonomic Intervention

Abstract

JLR Medical Group has a fragmented and ineffective data dissemination model for the increasingly mobile anesthesia practitioners. JLR Medical group provides anesthesia coverage for over 40 clinical sites in the central Florida area. The demand of mobile dependence for data recruitment highlights the need for a current portable model. A mobile application platform was proposed to synchronize the complexity of scheduling, data dissemination, and anesthesia team communication throughout clinical sites. The proposal was based upon the first two phases of the software development lifecycle for proposed clinical information systems – namely analyze and design. The analysis stage consisted of identifying the specifics of the problem, researching options for probable solutions, instituting a vision of the solution, and acquiring information concerning the technological milieu of key stakeholders. The design stage included a storyboard development of a mobile application wireframe consistent with the technological specifications of JLR and Florida Hospital. Furthermore, platforms requirements were explored for data recruitment from several information systems. The proposal was presented in PowerPoint format to key stakeholders of JLR medical group, consisting of two MDs in leadership and one IT personnel. The development of the PowerPoint presentation entailed background research for educating the audience. The proposal was evaluated by a response via a feedback form comprised of three sections with nine total questions. The resultant Likert-scale and opened ended questions of the three respondents indicated a strong agreement and likelihood of pursing the proposed solution. The initial goals of the project were achieved by the completion of the proposal in a professional manner, which included obtaining written responses from the committee regarding the strengths and weaknesses of the presentation.
