An Internet primer. Part I.

The Internet provides electronic communications and access to information around the globe. In only one decade of public use this format has emerged as the method of rapid access to information, and projections are for continued growth. The WWW consists of over 40,000,000 servers containing billions of pages of information on virtually every conceivable subject. This doesn't include news servers, FTP servers, bulletin boards, and other online information sources. The home healthcare nurse, now and in the future, needs knowledge about and access to this system, to tap into the most current government recommendations about medications and treatment protocols, to access health statistics, consumer information, and additional educational, professional, and client-centered articles and opportunities. We hope this new Home Healthcare Nurse feature, "Staying Connected," will develop into a source of ongoing, up-to-date information to assist you in accessing and utilizing this valuable resource. Next month, we'll provide some specific directions for navigating the information superhighway.

Benchmarking in home health care: a collaborative approach.

Benchmarking outcome data and constructing "best practices" to meet patient care needs are emerging trends and new mandates on the horizon in home care. The Arizona Association for Home Care Continuous Quality Improvement Forum embarked on a journey to develop standards to define and monitor urinary tract infections in the home. A collaborative process among six home care agencies allowed for comparison of urinary tract infection rates and a beginning step toward establishing benchmarking standards in home care.

Searching the Web.

The Web is an extraordinarily dynamic medium that is growing in size and complexity at a furious pace. Web pages already number in the billions and roughly double each year. The contents of the Web are largely unstructured, which may make finding specific information a considerable challenge. However, once you develop some skill at navigating this realm, you'll reap considerable rewards. Surfing the Net can become habit forming, and as your proficiency increases, the challenge may well be knowing when to stop.

Attitudes toward women physicians in medical academia.

To determine attitudes toward women physicians within medical academia, we administered a survey to a probability sample of male and female senior medical students, faculty, and top-level administrators in a randomized, stratified subset of ten medical schools. Of the 984 respondents (65% response rate), men were much less supportive overall than women of female leaders. While women strongly disagreed with the idea that women physicians who spend long hours at work neglect home and family, men were almost equally divided on this issue. Each group rated the "typical" faculty member as "strong, fair, and progressive," but male faculty also were characterized as "egotistical" while female faculty were rated more "sensitive and altruistic." Male students were least likely to support a search for a female dean, hiring more female faculty members, or accepting an incoming class in which the majority were women.

Using plug-ins and Internet browser extensions.

Plug-ins and helper applications are programs that add additional capability to computer Web browsers. These browser extenders allow us to access the most current and most dynamic information on the Web: material that can assist us in fulfilling our professional role now and in the future. We can--and most of us will need to--add browser extensions to our desktop computers both at the time a Web site advises us that such an extension is needed, or we can load the most common browser extensions in advance (see "Essential Plug-Ins"). These steps may seem daunting, but are only inconveniences to our use of the Web as a vital resource and should not be seen as barriers. Happy hunting!
