Abstract

BACKGROUND: As Summa Health System implemented an integrated interdisciplinary documentation system, educational sessions for staff had to be developed and presented. METHOD: Structure of classes, scheduling of sessions, ongoing revisions and refinements, and key elements of success are shared. RESULTS: Staff members incorporated the documentation changes into practice. CONCLUSION: Other organizations may benefit and learn from the experiences of our two-hospital system in developing and scheduling education for a system-wide change project.

Access to the online evidence base in general practice: a survey of the Northern and Yorkshire Region.

AIMS: To assess the awareness and use of NHSnet within general practice. To investigate the presence of skills necessary to maximize the benefits of NHSnet connections. METHODS: Postal survey of general practice staff in the Northern and Yorkshire Region. RESULTS: At least one completed questionnaire was obtained from 65% of the general practices surveyed, and the individual response rate to the general practice survey was 44%. Ninety per cent of all respondents reported that their practice was connected to the NHSnet, with 59% of respondents reporting that they use NHSnet at least once a week. Although NHSnet was used to search for research information or guidance, all respondents in this survey still reported greater access to and use of paper-based information resources. Respondents indicated that they still needed further training on how to use NHSnet (42%), how to search the Internet (31%) and how to search electronic databases such as medline (49%). CONCLUSIONS: Since our 1999 survey, reported NHSnet connectivity has increased greatly, with a majority of respondents reporting that they use NHSnet at least once a week. Although encouraging, this level of usage suggests that using the Internet/NHSnet to find research has yet to become a core activity in general practice.
