Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Time Motion Study (TMS) has been widely conducted to evaluate the impact of health information system adoption and have been demonstrated to be the gold standard method for measuring and quantifying clinical workflow. A direct continuous TMS will be conducted in primary health clinics in Negeri Sembilan to determine how much time a diabetic educator (DE) spends on diabetic care as some DEs have been drawn away from their primary care roles, hence a suitable tool for data collection in a TMS needs to be selected. Consequently, this paper aims to compare the tools available for a clinical workflow TMS.
METHODS: A literature review was conducted to identify and track down existing clinical workflow TMS tools, as well as to evaluate their features and limitations. The focus of the existing literature was on the availability of tools with the following features: emphasis on communication process (or flexible taxonomy input), multitasking capability as well as tablet device compatibility (e.g., iPad). Their availability and spread of a scalable dynamic were explored.
RESULTS: Following the completion of a thorough analysis of clinical workflow TMS using available digital means, five tools and their respective developers are identified. They provide different approaches for multitasking, interruptions, inter-observer reliability assessment, and task taxonomy. CONCLUSION: Literatures had shown the provision of a complete, accessible, scalable, and dynamic time capture tool would be a key contributor to the standardisation and dissemination of TMS. Therefore, Time Capture Tool (TimeCaT), a web-based application, was chosen.
