HANDS Mockup screenshots and software source code

Introduction

The Hands-on Automated Nursing Data System (HANDS) is a standardized plan of care method in which the patient's plan is updated at every nurse hand-off allowing the interdisciplinary team to track the story about care and progress toward desired outcomes in a standardized format across time and units.

EVL is collaborating with UIC's College of Nursing and College of Engineering on the visual component of the HANDS system. Current goals include: - improving the original HANDS user interface for more potential users such as doctors and therapists. - investigating and understanding the needs of prospective users, and adding additional functionality to HANDS to address the needs of those users. - adding visualization to HANDS existing reports in an effort to empower current and future users to do more data exploration and visual analytics.

Software source code

  • 3D N3View | Download (Mac App)
  • This tool loads N3 data and visualize the N3 combination distribution over the 3-dimensional space defined by NANDA, NOC and NIC axes. Size of each sphere in space represents the number of cases of that combination. Slider user interfaces provides a way to filter sample spheres based on number of cases. A cross-platform visualization library, VTK [2] is used in this program.

  • HR Workload | Download (Mac App)
  • This tool shows the comparative results of the nurse workload report. A 2D plotting framework, CorePlot [3] is used in this program.

  • 2D NANDA-NOC scatter plot (Web App)
  • This is a JavaScript web application that can be deployed in either a JavaServerPage container or Google App Engine [5] for better future scalability. This is basically a 2D version of the 3D N3View tool online. The data is stored on the server side and downloaded to client browser on-demand. JavaScript library ProtoVis [4] is used in this program. A modern browser supports SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) is required.
