摘要:

A computerized database for the collection of patient encounter information by nurse practitioner students provides insight into the number and diversity of cases seen. Menu-driven data entry and controlled vocabulary in the form of diagnostic clusters provide a mechanism to categorize and analyze the data. Faculty are able to review student clinical experience by quantitative measures such as number of patient encounters, diagnostic cluster of the encounter, and patient demographic data. Qualitative measures such as student's level of responsibility and student prior experience with stated encounter also are included in the database. Data analysis of two interdisciplinary pilots provided comparisons across disciplines of nursing, medicine, and physical therapy. A subsequent nurse practitioner student pilot provided further refinement and a broadened database terminology more inclusive of a nursing perspective. Educational and clinical issues involved in development, maintenance, and future use of the database are discussed.

摘要:

Expanded application of electronic meeting software (EMS) in the business world is attributable to Its discovery as a time saving and cost effective strategy for team building and group process. Group process and team building are equally important functions within the higher education environment but frequently consume hours of attention with limited productivity. Enhancements in EMS programs promise exciting solutions for completing crucial activities including strategic planning, negotiating, problem solving, consensus building, faculty/staff evaluation, multi disciplinary research and classroom instruction. The College of Nursing and Health at Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio has been “wired for thought.” This article presents applications of Group Systems electronic meeting software from Ventana Corporation, Tucson, Arizona, for solving problems encountered in administration, research collaboration, and classroom teaching within the College.

摘要:

Automating intensive care unit (ICU) documentation saves time and assists in interpreting data and planning care. The current economic climate makes the cost of ICU computer systems prohibitive for many institutions. Any expenditure without a measurable return on investment will be scrutinized carefully. The literature describing ICU computer system benefits often is difficult to Interpret. No two implementations, hospitals, or benefit study designs have been the same. Each implementation has many unique variables. These variables make study comparison and replication potentially impossible. The authors have concluded that replicating previous studies may not be relevant if the goal is to justify system cost. The objective is met by designing a study that evaluates changes in data management activities as well as issues unique to the study unit or institution. The purpose of this article is to review the findings of previous benefits studies related to ICU documentation systems and to suggest other measures to support cost justification for expensive bedside documentation systems.

摘要:

This article presents a review of the literature summarizing faculty reports of their experiences with computer-mediated distance education compared with their traditional face-to-face teaching experiences. Both challenges and benefits of distance learning programs contrasted with classroom-based teaching are revealed. Specific difficulties and advantages identified by online faculty were categorized Into four broad areas of impact on the teaching/learning experience: (a) faculty workload, (b) access to education, (c) adapting to technology, and (d) instructional quality. Challenges appear to be related predominantly to faculty workloads, new technologies, and online course management. Benefits Identified by online educators indicate that computer-mediated distance education has high potential for expanding student access to educational resources, for providing individualized instruction, and for promoting active learning among geographically separated members of learning groups.
