Implementing information systems.

Effective implementation and system selection are equally important for a successful information system. Many new challenges exist in laboratory management and information system operations. Philosophy, strategy, and selected details of system implementation are presented in the context of practical examples of implementation issues.

Creative use of microcomputer software by graduate nursing students.

Educating nurses to use computer technology involves complex strategies. As adult students, many are eager to learn uses of computers for nursing education, nursing research, nursing practice, and nursing administration. It is the role of the faculty member to make the computer laboratory experiences meaningful and pragmatic for these 'first time' computer users. This article describes a method that promotes learning by requiring students to solve a nursing problem relevant to their practice using available microcomputer software.

Computerized literature searching in the ambulatory setting using PaperChase.

PaperChase, a self-service computerized literature search (SSCLS) service, was compared to conventional resources for accessing recent medical information by assessing user attitudes, search costs, and number of searches performed. The study was designed as a randomized controlled trial using survey instruments before and after the intervention. Accounting of PaperChase searches was monitored electronically, and costs of librarian searches were provided by the hospital library. Participants included 57 physicians in several specialties who were members of a group practice located in a suburban ambulatory care center. Responses were received from 67%. The experimental group received free, unlimited access to PaperChase over a one-year period, while the control group used conventional resources (manually self-performed searches and computerized MEDLINE searches performed free-of-charge by hospital librarians). The study disclosed no change in attitude of either those employing computers or SSCLS. Attitude scores in the experimental group showed statistically significant worsening in preference for SSCLS over textbook use and the estimation of SSCLS utility in the outpatient setting. The cost of PaperChase compared favorably to literature searches done by librarians. The self-reported numbers of literature searches of all types increased in the experimental group. PaperChase searches changed physicians' perceptions of patient treatment and outcome in some cases. While computerized literature searches may have a role in the outpatient setting, other resources remain important. Although only certain physicians are interested in using this method, this study shows that PaperChase can be a cost-effective alternative to MEDLINE searches performed by hospital librarians.

Maintaining student interest in CAI.

Students seem to be losing interest in computer assisted nursing instruction (CAI). CAI needs to be stimulating and motivating to promote optimal learning. This article presents four instructional design features of CAI that facilitate interest and motivation: objectives, attentiveness, individual control, and reinforcement. Authors of software should use these features in design and nurse educators should include these design issues when evaluating CAI for purchase.
