Introducing DoT-U2--an XML-based knowledge supported checklist software for documentation of a newborn clinical screening examination.

In a project concerning the German newborn screening examination "U2" we developed a software system called DoT-U2 for concurrent documentation at the point of care. Physicians can enter findings in(to) a tree structured protocol with management of logical dependencies. Additionally, all findings except free text annotations can be entered by speech recognition. The software system program is written in Java and uses separate XML-based modules both for knowledge and language representation. It can, therefore, easily be adapted to other languages and further documentation scenarios. We showed the high flexibility of the software system by integrating it in a completely new setting in Salt Lake City without major problems. We found that modular software development with platform independent Java and XML leads to highly flexible software which can be adapted to very different scenarios without knowing their requirements ahead of time.

Inter-rater and test-retest reliability: methods and results for the neighborhood observational checklist.

The popularity of direct or systematic social observation as a method to evaluate the mechanisms by which neighborhood environments impact health and contribute to health disparities is growing. The development of measures with adequate inter-rater and test-retest reliability is essential for this research. In this paper, based on our experiences conducting direct observation of neighborhoods in Detroit, MI, we describe strategies to promote high inter-rater and test-retest reliability and methods to evaluate reliability. We then present the results and discuss implications for future research efforts using direct observation in four areas: methods to evaluate reliability, instrument content and design, observer training, and data collection.

A checklist of parasites recorded on sticklebacks (Actinopterygii: Gasterosteidae) from Poland.

Parasites of the three-spined stickleback, Gasterosteus aculeatus (L.), and the nine-spined stickleback, Pungitius pungitius (L.), from brackish and freshwater habitats in Poland are listed. The following list was compiled from published records and own long-term studies. Parasites are listed alphabetically in meaningful groups of parasites with notes about their location on the host and distribution in Poland with references. A total of 51 species (taxa) of parasites were recorded on G. aculeatus (3 Apicomplexa, 1 Microsporidia, 3 Peritrichia, 1 Myxozoa, 7 Digenea, 2 Monogenea, 10 Cestoda, 10 Nematoda, 7 Acanthocephala, 3 Copepoda, 1 Branchiura, 2 Hirudinea, 1 Bivalvia) and 16 parasites on P. pungitius (1 Apicomplexa, 1 Microsporidia, 2 Peritrichia, 4 Digenea, 1 Monogenea, 2 Cestoda, 2 Nematoda, 1 Copepoda, 1 Branchiura, 1 Bivalvia).

Orientation made easy. Using preceptors and skills checklists.

Historically, it has been difficult to list skills that accurately reflect the responsibilities of the perioperative nurse and provide guidance in his or her training. Too often, learning was haphazard, which created inconsistent results and undue stress for new employees. With a preceptor program, the instructor or nurse manager will find improved staff morale and better retention of new employees. Today, ORs are even busier and have more technical equipment than in the past. Uncoordinated teaching efforts by staff and the good intentions of new employees are not enough. Learners must be given every opportunity to be successful. An orientation program that uses adult learning principles, preceptors, and a competency skills list can help new employees quickly become skillful team members.

A primary care checklist for effective family management.

After briefly reviewing the risks of caregiving, this article describes guidelines for practical clinical management of patients and family members in primary care settings. Much can be done to enhance the health and quality of life of patients with dementia and their families. Patients need to know that their physician is a resource who is there for them, who will listen to the story of their illness, and who knows where to send them for more information and help.
