Describing digital nursing work in a remote patient monitoring application: Novel convergent mixed methods secondary analysis of feasibility trial data.

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
Objectives: Despite the prevalence of applications which offer remote patient monitoring (RPM) in chronic illness management, the use of RPM in healthcare systems remains low. There is limited use of data generated in an RPM, to describe the work of clinicians. The study's aim was the use a novel evaluation method to characterise the nurse work in an RPM intervention. Methods: A convergent mixed methods design was used to perform secondary analysis on feasibility trial data. Data sets: (1) RPM data set: data generated by usage, and (2) Interview data set: nurse user interviews. In the RPM data set, patient entered data, software data labelling, and nurse responses were defined as data strings. Quantitative variables were summarized using descriptive statistics. Both data sets were analysed using systematic text condensation. In the RPM data set themes were translated into quantitative data enabling reportable links to RPM functionality. Themes converged and narrative integration triangulated the data. Results: Seven patients (heart failure (n=4); colorectal cancer (n=3)) and eight nurses were selected. Their RPM intervention engagement generated a mean of 97 data strings. Converging themes included: (1) intervention technical and operational work, (2) digitally enabled care management and coordination, and (3) educational and relational work. Conclusions: The evaluation method provided a detailed characterization of the digital nurse work performed in the RPM intervention. While data presented is foundational, it highlights the potential of how evaluation of nurse engagement with RPM application may provide essential feedback to refine digital interventions to ensure efficient integration in healthcare systems.
