Purpose: This methodological study was done to develop a computerized telephone triage and consultation system for patients discharged with ophthalmic disease in order to provide more efficient practice guidelines for nurses, and evaluate the usability of the system.
Methods: Development of the system consisted of six phases: strategic planning, analysis, design, implementation, evaluation, modification, and maintenance.
Results: In the strategic planning phase, ophthalmic problems and nursing interventions of triage algorithms and practice guidelines were cross-mapped with the Omaha system. In the analysis phase, users requirements were identified. Then infrastructure including database, nursing knowledge base, and user interface were designed in the implementation phase. Usability and satisfaction of the system presented as very positive. Telephone consultation took about 2 minutes less than time in the previous system. The system was modified based on users’ comments during the evaluation phase.
Conclusion: This study was the first attempt in Korea to develop computerized triage system to prompt the quality of telephone consultation. It is suggestive that the computerized triage system may improve the quality of nursing.
