However, the full adoption of the system still faces challenges such as handling speech errors, transforming raw data into an understandable format and controlling the transition from one field to the next field with speech commands. To reduce errors, cost, and documentation time, we propose a dialogue system care record (DSCR) based on a smartphone for nursing documentation. We describe the effects of DSCR on (1) documentation speed, (2) document accuracy and (3) user satisfaction. We tested the application with 12 participants to examine the usability and feasibility of DSCR. The evaluation shows that DSCR can collect data efficiently by achieving 96% of documentation accuracy. Average documentation speed was increased by 15% (P = 0.012) compared to traditional electronic forms (e-forms). The participants\u2019 average satisfaction rating was 4.8 using DSCR compared to 3.6 using e-forms on a scale of 1\u20135 (P = 0.032).<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s19173736","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,8,29]],"date-time":"2019-08-29T11:26:22Z","timestamp":1567077982000},"page":"3736","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Evaluating a Spoken Dialogue System for Recording Systems of Nursing Care"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"19","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4250-7964","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tittaya","family":"Mairittha","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate School of Engineering, Kyushu Institute of Technology, 1-1 Sensui-cho, Tobata-ku, Kitakyushu-shi, Fukuoka 804-8550, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nattaya","family":"Mairittha","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate School of Engineering, Kyushu Institute of Technology, 1-1 Sensui-cho, Tobata-ku, Kitakyushu-shi, Fukuoka 804-8550, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sozo","family":"Inoue","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate School of Engineering, Kyushu Institute of Technology, 1-1 Sensui-cho, Tobata-ku, Kitakyushu-shi, Fukuoka 804-8550, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,8,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"154","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1547-5069.2011.01397.x","article-title":"Electronic nursing documentation as a strategy to improve quality of patient care","volume":"43","author":"Kelley","year":"2011","journal-title":"J.
