Maintaining excellence in physician nurse communication with CPOE: A nursing informatics team approach.

Designing and implementing CPOE systems is difficult, presenting many challenges to overcome related to workflow redesign. As part of the Mayo Clinic Arizona CPOE design and implementation, it was recognized that physicians would be placing inpatient orders from multiple locations; therefore nurses no longer would have the usual visual clues to identify new physician orders. This could easily lead to a delay in implementing orders that require immediate action. To address this, a multidisciplinary team evaluated various communication options and designed two in-house Web-based applications to solve the communication gap. One application will provide staff nurses with visual alerts for stat and routine orders as they are processed in real time. A second application is a Web-based link to the nursing assignment sheets, which will give physicians and support staff access to staff nurse assignments and phone numbers, specific to each nursing unit.

[Nursing personnel attitudes prior to the introduction of informatic tools and contemporary vision of a hospital information system].

Computerization is no more improvised just like that and the management of computer plans is from now on a matter for methods and approaches which leave nothing to chance. The main purpose of the present work's empirical part is to a priori determine the attitude which will be the one of the nurses toward the implementation of computer aid in the care units that is expected on the short term. So we will have at our disposal pertinent information which will enable the concerned people to efficiently negotiate this change. For the realization of the present study, we built a LIKERT scale of attitude and integrated it within a question paper with nearly 40 questions. This later was submitted to a stratified random sample of 100 nurses in office at the Clinique St-Pierre in Ottignies (Belgium). After a presentation of that hospital's computer position and of observations made in other hospitals, a detailed study protocol specifies all the features of the research. The achieved results show us that the concerned nurses are highly favorable to the implementation of computer aid. The present work sets out and develops very numerous findings expressed in figures as well as relations and correlations between the attitude and certain features of the sample. The realization of the objectives of any care institution--i.e. a better nursing of the patients and a better managing of the care distribution--colldies with the abundance and the complexity of "Information" which is itself conveyed by numerous systems: nursing, medical, operational, managing information system,... Facing such a reality which is sometimes complex and relatively less analysed, this work is an outline reflection on a bibliographical basis, a conceptual approach that puts certain of the Nursing Information System's generalities in a prominent position--but also some of its specifies--themselves mainly brought to light by means of the introduction of computer aid. The reader will also find here a conceptual pattern integrating the various hospital information sub-systems in interaction, as well as a graphical representation of their information and overlap areas. As the reader will see, the information system--which has become an essential notion in today's data processing--is in the heart of the running of any hospital. Hardly unperceptible, the information system, as long as it is not materialized by the computerization project nonetheless represents a major stake which is covetted by the whole hospital contributors.

Teaching medical informatics skills during a clinical clerkship.

Medical students use many forms of medical electronic resources (MER) during clinical clerkships. Such resources may be inaccurate, irrelevant or inappropriate, yet most medical students do not receive guidance on the use of MER. During the earliest clinical clerkship we gave a series of seminars and assignments on the use of MER. These were well accepted and were followed by increased knowledge in the use of MER.

A feasible strategy of promoting nursing informatics by End User Computing.

The purpose of this study was to report our experiences in promoting NI training and professorship using the strategy of End User Computing in Taiwan. An interview-based survey was made to better understand the pros and cons of this strategy from three successful projects. The results appear promising and cost-effective.

An incremental pharmacy informatics model for use in a rural hospital.

We present an implementation model for pharmaceutical computerized decision support (CDS) that enables a hospital to incrementally target specific "high value" projects as needs are identified and support is secured. Our model, which we are currently implementing in a rural medical center, allows the hospital and its staff to quickly reap some benefits from CDS in spite of resource limitations.

Theory development in health care informatics: Information and communication technology acceptance model (ICTAM) improves the explanatory and predictive power of technology acceptance models.

The purpose of this web-based study was to explain and predict consumers' acceptance and usage behavior of Internet health information and services. Toward this goal, the Information and Communication Technology Acceptance Model (ICTAM) was developed and tested. Individuals who received a flyer through the LISTSERV of HealthGuide were eligible to participate. The study population was eighteen years old and older who had used Internet health information and services for a minimum of 6 months. For the analyses, SPSS (version 13.0) and AMOS (version 5.0) were employed. More than half of the respondents were women (n = 110, 55%). The average age of the respondents was 35.16 years (S.D. = 10.07). A majority reported at least some college education (n = 126, 63%). All of the observed factors accounted for 75.53% of the total variance explained. The fit indices of the structural model were within an acceptable range: chi2/df = 2.38 (chi2 = 1786.31, df = 752); GFI = .71; RMSEA = .08; CFI = .86; NFI = .78. The results of this study provide empirical support for the continued development of ICTAM in the area of health consumers' information and communication technology acceptance.

Teaching undergraduate nursing students critical thinking: An innovative informatics strategy.

Simulated e-Health Delivery System (SEEDS) uses a clinical information system (CIS) to teach students how to process data from virtual patient case studies and work with information technology. SEEDS was developed in response to the Institute of Medicine recommendation that students be taught about information systems in order to improve quality patient care and reduce errors. Curriculum implications, implementation of the system, and technology challenges are discussed.

Evaluation to the informatics system for health promotion management with MedModel simulation project.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of the MedModel simulation project system based on the real approach in health promotion management. Used the MedModel simulation project in the physical exam department of a medical center, it's truly promoted the client satisfaction and reduced run-time about 30 minutes, and raised the client attendance about 30%. Actual application in the real health examination, also obtained the same improvement.
