An Interactive Digital Dashboard for Patient Monitoring and Management in a Continuity of Care Centre: Development and Preliminary Usability Evaluation Study.
Article in JMIR formative research, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundClinical dashboards are becoming important tools for managing and monitoring hospitalized patients across different wards. Moreover, careful attention to design, usability, and user interaction is essential for developing effective support tools for clinicians.
objectiveThis study aimed to describe the development, implementation, and preliminary evaluation of an interactive dashboard for patient monitoring and management in the Continuity of Care Centre (CCC).
methodsWe developed a dashboard according to clinicians' requests and the daily workflow of case managers. First, a CCC Data Mart was created to collect all patients' information automatically extracted from the hospital's data warehouse. However, case managers had the possibility to enter additional patient information in the dashboard using a dedicated form. Moreover, CCC physicians, nurses, and administrative staff were surveyed using 2 validated questionnaires, the System Usability Scale and the Questionnaire for User Interaction Satisfaction. The Situation Awareness Index was proposed to evaluate user awareness and task efficiency.
resultsThe first version of the CCC dashboard presented 4 panels with different types of information, both on the individual patient and on metrics related to the overall patient population. The first panel focused on patients' data, such as demographic factors, admission, transfer, discharge wards (and their dates), etc. The importance of this panel was the possibility of viewing information collected from different sources within a single interface. The other 3 panels displayed different key performance indicators for the overall patient population and presented data both in the form of tables in the second panel and graphs in the third and fourth panels. After 3 months of daily use, a total of 15 participants, 10 nurses, 2 administrative staff members, and 3 physicians, were recruited for the dashboard evaluation. The average System Usability Scale score of the dashboard was 61.5 (SD 15.7) points, which indicates "OK to good" usability, and the median score obtained with the Questionnaire for User Interaction Satisfaction was 5.77 (IQR 4-7), with the highest results in usability (mean 6.33, SD 0) and learning (mean 6.01, SD 0.39). The overall Situation Awareness Index score was 4 points, with the highest score in "familiarity of dashboard" (mean 4.73, SD 1.66 points) and "arousal support" (mean 4.6, SD 1.8 points).
conclusionsWe developed an interactive dashboard for patient monitoring and management, with positive evaluations from users across different questionnaires.
