Abstract

The new technology has made possible the new information methods development. Isn't erasable, it is compatible with personal computers, and without additional online charge. The CD-ROM, Compact Disc Read Only Memory. These electronic media, used in the information digital storage, come from the compact audio disc. One CD-ROM covers over 250,000 text's pages, or 300,000 book's cards or 1,500 diskettes of 360 kbytes. In a compact disc there could be words, sounds, charts and images. MEDLINE database on compact disc, allows to search the current year on one CD-ROM, covering over 300,000 citations from 3,200 publications, material drawn from both English and foreign language publications.

[How to cope with the demands of the new "Approbation Regulation" (AR) by radiology-related interdisciplinary courses. The Erlangen model].

BACKGROUND: To create radiology-related interdisciplinary programs for the undergraduate education in terms of the new "Approbation Regulation". MATERIAL AND METHODS: Medical students developed in collaboration with radiologists and clinical partners virtual, radiology-related interdisciplinary training courses for different fields. Students and teachers evaluated the acceptance of the programs' structure and content as well as the possibility to replace the radiologist partly during interdisciplinary lessons. RESULTS: Six target group oriented virtual, radiology-related interdisciplinary training courses were developed which will relieve the implementation of the new AR's demands for more interdisciplinary education in small groups and the dreaded shortage of personnel. CONCLUSION: By the use of web- and CDRom-based interdisciplinary course models different fields of medicine and diagnostic radiology can be bridged in the sense of the new AR's demands as well as manpower in radiology can be saved.

[Electronic medical handbooks--are they suitable for implementation of guidelines in health care?].

BACKGROUND: The Directorate for Health and Social Affairs commissioned a project to evaluate the distribution and use of a Norwegian electronic medical handbook (NEL). MATERIAL AND METHODS: NEL uses multimedia techniques and is distributed on a CD twice a year. A questionnaire about the use of NEL was given to 91 medical students. Health professionals at two hospitals and 12 health centres were interviewed. RESULTS: The use of the electronic handbook differed more within than between groups of professionals. NEL is applied for three main purposes: decision support, quality assurance and as a source for information pamphlets designed for patients. The professionals believed that NEL has contributed to patients' receiving more information and more uniform treatment. Criticism was made about the price and for the lack of integration with the electronic patient record. INTERPRETATION: The study has revealed some barriers to implementation and use of electronic information sources. Under certain circumstances an electronic handbook might be suitable way for authorities and others to distribute professional guidelines.
