[Name] Dr Marilyn McGee-Lennon Senior Research Fellow, University of Glasgow [Topic] HECTOR - Evaluation of a PDA based clinical handover system Aim: To evaluate a handheld computer system being used in practice by emergency care nurses to facilitate clinical handover, patient management and clinical audit. Method: The evaluation was carried out over a four-week period in the three NHS hospitals using conventional mixed methods, specifically questionnaires and follow-up interviews with the HECT nursing staff users of the handheld computer system. Results: The handheld computer system has been successfully implemented to support hospital at night teams. In addition it was found that the system was perceived by the team as having significant value in particular to facilitate hospital handover and clinical audit without having unacceptable impact on time or perceived workload.
