Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Retrospective Phase
150 patients with Parkinson disease before completion of the Parkinson's Disease Inpatient Clinical Knowledge and Management Program.
|
Device: Watch Rx system
The Watch Rx system consists of a Watch Rx smartwatch, Watch Rx application and a WatchRx Web Interface. The Watch Rx smartwatch will be worn on the patient's wrist. The smart watch will send alerts to the caregivers through the Watch Rx app when it is time to administer the medication. The Web Interface will be used to store the medical documentations |
Experimental: Prospective Phase-Watch Rx system
150 patients after completion of the Parkinson's Disease Inpatient Clinical Knowledge and Management Program who are also assigned to a WatchRx system
|
Device: Watch Rx system
The Watch Rx system consists of a Watch Rx smartwatch, Watch Rx application and a WatchRx Web Interface. The Watch Rx smartwatch will be worn on the patient's wrist. The smart watch will send alerts to the caregivers through the Watch Rx app when it is time to administer the medication. The Web Interface will be used to store the medical documentations |
Experimental: Retrospective Phase - Clinicians

- Compare the Parkinson's Disease Inpatient Clinical Knowledge of clinicians before and after the Parkinson's Disease Inpatient Clinical Knowledge and Management Program [ Time Frame: 1 year ]Examine the effectiveness of Parkinson's Disease Inpatient Clinical Knowledge and Management Program on PD medication management using a Parkinson's Disease Knowledge Assessment Survey
- Evaluate the Impact of WatchRx system on PD medication adherence during hospitalization [ Time Frame: 6 months ]Track number of medication errors as measured by difference in actual and scheduled PD medication administration time and the number of contraindicated medication administrations.
- Track adverse events in hospitalized patients [ Time Frame: 6 months ]Track adverse events (including number of falls, number of falls with injury, number of patients with positive CAM/Mini-Cog scores, and length of stay) in hospitalized patients before and after implementation of Parkinson's Disease Inpatient Clinical Knowledge and Management Program and the WatchRx system.
- Patients with Early Identification of Parkinson's Disease [ Time Frame: 6 Months ]number of patients with early identification of Parkinson's Disease
- Patients Enrolled in Parkinson's Disease Registry at HackensackUMC [ Time Frame: 6 Months ]Parkinson's Disease Registry
- Trend the prevalence of Parkinson's Disease patients at HackensackUMC [ Time Frame: 6 Months ]Identify a trend
