RadStation: client-based digital dictation system and integrated clinical information display with an embedded Web-browser.

RadStation is a digital dictation system having an integrated display of clinical information. The three-tiered system architecture provides robust performance, with most information displayed within one second after a request. The multifunctional client tier is a unique client/browser hybrid. A Web browser display window functions as the client application's data display window for clinical information, radiology reports, and laboratory and pathology results. RadStation provides a robust platform for digital dictation functionality. The system's internal status checks ensure operational integrity in a clinical environment. Also, the programmable dictation microphone and bar-code reader supplant the mouse as the system's primary input device. By merging information queries into existing work flow, radiologist's interpretation efficiency is maintained with instant access to essential clinical information. Finally, RadStation requires minimal training and has been enthusiastically accepted by our radiologists in an active clinical practice.

In the palm of your hand.

The explosive growth of handheld personal digital assistants (PDAs) in health care has been nothing short of amazing. What applications--business and clinical--do these devices have in medicine, and what is their potential? PDAs are simple and intuitive; their applications require minimal interaction time, so they have minimal impact on work flow: the investment is small; and the lightweight form is relatively nonintrusive during a patient encounter. The devices are being used to capture charges for medical services at the point of care. Encounter capture, online prescription writing and other applications will soon come on the scene. This article discusses current and possible future uses for PDAs in health care, interfaces with other technologies and security concerns.

Introduction of handheld computing to a family practice residency program.

BACKGROUND: Handheld computers are valuable practice tools. It is important for residency programs to introduce their trainees and faculty to this technology. This article describes a formal strategy to introduce handheld computing to a family practice residency program. METHODS: Objectives were selected for the handheld computer training program that reflected skills physicians would find useful in practice. TRGpro handheld computers preloaded with a suite of medical reference programs, a medical calculator, and a database program were supplied to participants. Training consisted of four 1-hour modules each with a written evaluation quiz. Participants completed a self-assessment questionnaire after the program to determine their ability to meet each objective. RESULTS: Sixty of the 62 participants successfully completed the training program. The mean composite score on quizzes was 36 of 40 (90%), with no significant differences by level of residency training. The mean self-ratings of participants across all objectives was 3.31 of 4.00. Third-year residents had higher mean self-ratings than others (mean of group, 3.62). Participants were very comfortable with practical skills, such as using drug reference software, and less comfortable with theory, such as knowing the different types of handheld computers available. CONCLUSION: Structured training is a successful strategy for introducing handheld computing to a residency program.

[A comparative assessment of modern suture materials in stomach resection].

Results of stomach resection by Bilrot-II in 30 experimental animals and 369 patients with gastric and duodenal ulcers were analyzed. Gastroenteroanastomoses were created with various sutures: capron, polysorb, titanium clips. Pneumopression, bacteriologic and morphologic examinations of anastomosis, fibroesophagogastroduodeno- and intestinoscopy, peripheral computed electrogastroenterography were used. It was revealed that mechanical suture with titanium clips was the best. Polysorb thread is inferior in tissue reaction to mechanical suture but superior to capron. Use of polysorb reduced rate of complications in immediate postoperative period 4 times. Taking into consideration high cost of suture devices it is reasonable to introduce polysorb in practice of abdominal surgery.
