Jung Hyup Kim and his team developed a method for better tracking how nurses in an intensive care unit (ICU) spend their workday. Findings could help improve the health care delivery process in the ICU and could also be applied to other health care procedures.
The NFER system, which includes several routers set up throughout the unit and wearable devices for the nurses, allows researchers to track nurses’ movements in real time. Photo courtesy of Jung Hyup Kim.
