- Abstract
Objective: To develop a digital platform for optimizing data collection processes with medical scales and monitoring data for measuring value in health. Method: Using an investigative intervention methodology, a platform was developed including qualitative and quantitative approaches in three phases: focal groups were conducted by a multidisciplinary team of investigators and healthcare providers at the pilot study site, an Integrated Continuous Care Unit (UCCI); data from a sample of 21 UCCI users was analyzed as a pre-test to classify different levels of complexity; UCCI financial data and operational costs were collected and analyzed during the 21 users stay at the UCCI. The platform's iteractive and incremental development allowed for the collection of as a form of improvement. Results: The platform includes three modules: a mobile application; a dashboard; and an import module. Data collected on the platform are centralized and shown on the dashboard. Data are collected using a mobile application and/or an import module to input data from existing medical systems. Conclusion: The mobile application is ready to be used by healthcare providers and caregivers. The dashboard shows users' clinical follow-up and health gain data for monitoring.
