Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Rate of Agreement Between the Recommendations of the INSAMED Computer Tool and the Recommendations Made by a Healthcare Professional From the Research Team Based on the Best Practice Algorithm.

Recommendation pairs were analyzed in this Outcome Measure for the number of recommendation pairs that matched recommendations between the INSAMED Computer Tool and the Healthcare Professional, The recommendations of the INSAMED computer tool will be collected by extracting the history from the digital interface (commercial smartphone) hosting the expert system. The recommendations established by a caregiver from the research team based on a best practice algorithm will be determined: After receiving the device activation message, a caregiver (registered nurse) from the research team will establish a recommendation based on the medical algorithm for treating the symptom, medical prescriptions and the patient's interview without consulting INSAMED. The response provided by the nurse in charge of the patient is not used as the gold standard because, in practice, the responses provided may differ from the medical ideal (e.g. unavailability of staff or non-compliance with the care plan).

Time frame: Day 2 post operative
