Health professionals' views of informatics education: findings from the AMIA 1999 spring conference.

Health care leaders emphasize the need to include information technology and informatics concepts in formal education programs, yet integration of informatics into health educational programs has progressed slowly. The AMIA 1999 Spring Congress was held to address informatics educational issues across health professions, including the educational needs in the various health professions, goals for health informatics education, and implementation strategies to achieve these goals. This paper presents the results from AMIA work groups focused on informatics education for non-informatics health professionals. In the categories of informatics needs, goals, and strategies, conference attendees suggested elements in these areas: educational responsibilities for faculty and students, organizational responsibilities, core computer skills and informatics knowledge, how to learn informatics skills, and resources required to implement educational strategies.

Public health policy for preventing violence.

The current epidemic of violence in America threatens not only our physical health but also the integrity of basic social institutions such as the family, the communities in which we live, and our health care system. Public health brings a new vision of how Americans can work together to prevent violence. This new vision places emphasis on preventing violence before it occurs, making science integral to identifying effective policies and programs, and integrating the efforts of diverse scientific disciplines, organizations, and communities. A sustained effort at all levels of society will be required to successfully address this complex and deeply rooted problem.

Identification and restoration of lapsed skills for primary care providers.

OBJECTIVE: Individualized educational programs based upon structured comprehensive evaluations have the highest opportunity for success in addressing the needs of physicians with lapsed skills. The purpose of this article is to describe the Physician Prescribed Educational Program (PPEP), an integrated series of programs that incorporate a formalized, structured evaluation strategy. METHODS: The PPEP is structured to determine: 1) The presence of deficits which are amenable to educational remediation, 2) The likelihood that an appropriate educational program can be developed, and 3) The structure of such a program. RESULTS: Of 300 referrals, 100 have received evaluations thus far. A wide range of deficits were addressable, although there were specific exclusions to participation. CONCLUSIONS: Administrators and others who wish to undertake these efforts should avail themselves of educational and other resources but should not expect rapid results. With careful planning and execution, these programs can provide appropriate and successful experiences for participants.

A system of values. Values committees help a system preserve its mission.

In response to the challenge of maintaining their Christian values in the face of increasing economic pressures, St. Joseph Health System in Orange, CA, has implemented its VISION program (Values Integration Systemwide in Ongoing Networking). The program consists of values implementation policies, self-assessment, and regular systemwide reporting. The idea for evaluating values implementation took shape in 1987 at a representative task force meeting. After agreeing on a conceptual framework, the group recommended the formation of values committees to assess their organizations' status and develop action plans. The task force provided the first step by identifying nine areas for self-assessment. The committees met in January 1988 to examine their tasks and share ideas. They were encouraged to translate the values concepts into actual attitudes and behaviors that could be applied in their work. Later they gauged the relative stages of their entities' values implementation through surveys, assessments, and interaction.

Use of adult immunization strategies to increase the take of the influenza vaccine. A 2 year review.

1. An actively involved multidisciplinary committee was one of the strongest aspects of the program. This strategy helped to fully integrate the program and provided a wider distribution network for information related to the program. 2. Flexibility in the availability of the vaccine yielded greater take rates than in prior years. Providing extra coverage to off shifts, coverage for unique scheduling formats, and making the influenza vaccine available within departments and off campus buildings were key to getting employees to accept the immunization. 3. The ability to use the knowledge of a diverse committee membership aided in better analysis of the mechanics of the process. Changes were made between years as the committee continued to assess successes and failures among different employee groups and addressed administration venues and incentives for staff.
