Abstract

To identify barriers to implementation of an evidence based integrated care pathway (ICP) for seizure management in the Emergency Department (ED). A site specific bespoke questionnaire was designed to solicit anonymous responses from all grades of ED medical and nursing staff to a series of questions regarding utility, feasibility, significance and implementation of a locally designed and championed ICP for seizure management and onward referral. While 95% of respondents agreed that the pathway ensured patients were treated according to best practice, a number of human factors were identified as barriers to use. These fell into three categories 1) environmental 2) pathway design/process and 3) user related issues. Most respondents understood and endorsed the evidence based utility of the pathway. Barriers to use, however, are broad with interactions involving many complex human factors. Nevertheless, solutions can be relatively easily formulated but departmental-wide effort is required to comprehensively address all issues.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 28 October 2017.
All research outputs
#20,660,571
of 25,382,440 outputs
Outputs from Epilepsy & Behavior
#3,377
of 4,611 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#255,263
of 331,588 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Epilepsy & Behavior
#94
of 123 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,382,440 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 10th percentile – i.e., 10% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 4,611 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.5. This one is in the 16th percentile – i.e., 16% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 331,588 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 12th percentile – i.e., 12% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 123 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 7th percentile – i.e., 7% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
