Computerized decision support systems (CDSSs) are still poorly routinely implemented in clinical practices mainly because of usability problems related to the technology interface. We previously proposed to use gauges to visualize the output of a guideline-based CDSS applied to malnutrition and pressure ulcer management in nursing homes. This interface was assessed by four focus groups including 16 healthcare professionals with expertise in geriatrics. A USE-like questionnaire was distributed. Participants considered the dashboard-with-gauges visualization was useful (94%), easy to use (63%), easy to learn (88%), and 88% thought they could be satisfied with it. However, concerns were expressed about the difficulty to follow up multiple healthcare problems.

Aim: analyze the application of the safe surgery checklist, seeking to describe the main factors that can affect its completion and follow-up, according to the perception of nursing technicians. Method: this is a qualitative study performed with nursing technicians from an outpatient surgical center in southern Brazil. The data were collected through focus groups and photographic methods, from the perspective of ecological and restorative thinking. Results: three categories emerged from the information grouping: Checklist for patient safety – still a challenge; difficulty of adherence to the safe surgery checklist; and Checklist Steps. Discussion: the data indicate that some stages of this process are still not met and there is difficulty of adherence by the teams. Conclusions: among the main failures is the low adherence of the medical team to perform the time out and to the confirmation of the place and the procedure. The restorative ecological approach made it possible to engage professionals.

Supply chains have become have become increasingly important as organisations have moved from competing on a stand-alone basis to recognizing that their success depends upon their trading partners. This includes their upstream suppliers and downstream customers. A supply chain involves a number of tiers of suppliers and customers that extends from the initial source of raw materials through to the final consumer of the finished product. Supply chain management involves the coordination of a number of functional areas in multiple organisations. Large amounts of information can be captured describing the activities in these organisations. It is possible to use this information in order to assist in decision making at strategic, tactical, and operational levels of the supply chain. The large volume of information available and the interdependencies between the activities within these multiple organisations means that it is necessary to employ computerized decision support systems to optimize supply chain activities.
