Abstract

Sepsis is a large health care burden on a global scale with 1.8 million documented cases yearly. Furthermore; sepsis is associated with a high mortality rate. However; an early initiation of the correct antimicrobial treatment improves the survival rate.

A new molecular based diagnostic test named MultiplexBCT is currently under development. Furthermore; a tablet-based data entry and reporting system is being developed to facilitate the workflow of the MultiplexBCT test.

This study identified system requirements for the tablet-based data entry and reporting system through an observational study conducted at two clinical microbiology laboratories inthe US. Three system requirements were elicited;communication of data with the laboratory information system; communication of test results to the treating staff; and the support of barcodes.

The three system requirements form the foundation for further development of the tablet-based data entry and reporting system.
