KEY TAKEAWAYS
- The trial aimed to evaluate the usability, efficiency, and cognitive burden of NAVIFY Oncology Hub using remote clinical simulation.
- The study evaluated NAVIFY Oncology Hub using clinical simulation, completing a survey and interview on usability, efficiency, cognitive burden, and feedback.
- The study found that NAVIFY Oncology Hub was a promising clinical workflow solution that may improve usability efficiency and reduce the cognitive burden on oncologists.
Clinical workflow is important for safe and efficient patient care. NAVIFY Oncology Hub is a clinical workflow solution that helps clinicians see a patient’s clinical history and make better, faster care decisions.
Researchers aimed to evaluate the usability, efficiency, and cognitive burden of NAVIFY Oncology Hub using remote clinical simulation.
About 27 board-certified oncologists were recruited to participate in remote evaluation sessions conducted via teleconference. Participants were instructed to review and synthesize clinical information from 10 synthetic breast cancer cases using NAVIFY Oncology Hub (case order was randomized). After completing the exercise, participants answered a survey that included the System Usability Scale (SUS), Likert-scale questions designed to self-report the efficiency of completing each task, and the NASA Task Load Index (to assess cognitive burden). The survey and a short interview were also used to gather structured feedback on the solution, patient cases, and study methods.
The study achieved an impressive “excellent” score of 82 on the System Usability Scale (SUS). A significant portion (67%) of participants expressed a willingness to incorporate the solution into their clinical practice, and nearly half (48%) indicated they would recommend it to peers. Most (96%) reported increased efficiency when using NAVIFY Oncology Hub for patient information review. Regarding its potential impact, most participants (78%) believed NAVIFY Oncology Hub would be “significantly better” or “somewhat better” than their current solution for facilitating patient discussions and care coordination.
On the NASA Task Load Index survey, the majority (63%) experienced low levels of mental demand, temporal demand, and effort when completing tasks using NAVIFY Oncology Hub. The majority (91%) found the synthetic patient cases to be either “very similar” or “somewhat similar” to real clinical cases and the tasks performed during the sessions to be “very similar” or “somewhat similar” to their typical clinical practice.
The study found that NAVIFY Oncology Hub is a promising clinical workflow solution that may improve usability efficiency and reduce the cognitive burden on oncologists.
