Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Background: Digital health refers to the field of knowledge and practice associated with the development and use of digital technologies to improve clinical practice and health outcomes. Knowledge of digital health technology is becoming essential for all nurses and health providers. Objective: This study aims to present the results of the systematic reviews that were used to inform the recommendations in a best practice guideline (BPG) following the GRADE (Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation) approach. Reviews focused on digital health education for nurses and health providers, peer champion models, and the use of predictive analytics in digital health environments. Methods: The BPG team, in collaboration with a panel of 17 experts, conducted 5 systematic reviews to address 5 recommendation questions. Systematic searches looked for relevant studies published in English from January 2017 to July 2022 from 10 databases. The GRADE approach was used to synthesize and evaluate the quality of evidence, ensuring the guideline aligned with international reporting standards. Results: A total of 18 articles across 4 systematic reviews met the inclusion criteria. From these reviews, 4 corresponding recommendations were drafted for nurses and health providers. The strength of the recommendations was determined through discussion and consensus by the expert panel using the GRADE approach. Among all, 1 systematic review resulted in no recommendation due to insufficient evidence. Conclusions: The BPG on digital health provides 4 evidence-based recommendations for nurses and health providers on how to incorporate digital health technologies into clinical practice. This BPG is intended to be used across all health care settings.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
