Resuscitation

Resuscitation is the process of correcting physiological disorders (such as lack of breathing or heartbeat) in an acutely ill patient.

For subsequent treatment, resuscitations have to be properly recorded.

[1] Even though there is a strong expansion of electronic health records, within the healthcare industry, rresuscitation documentation is still often handwritten, increasing the risk of incomplete documentation.

Novel options like tablet-based solutions help to digitalize this process.

[2] For improved documentation quality, future solutions have to be accepted by clinicians and well-integrated into their workflows.
