Abstract

We have developed a Web-based e-learning tool for teaching nursing skills, using educational material from a hospital-based nursing skills 'fair'. Management software was used to track skill certification and continuing education contact hours. The content could be delivered over the Internet and through firewalls using Windows Media Player version 9. The content was structured in a manner that made it adaptable to an e-learning system that used the Sharable Content Object Reference Model (SCORM), a set of specifications for delivering educational materials through technology-based methods.

[Multimedia preoperative patient information].

Due to heavy workloads and shortage of staff, doctors often find it difficult to explain operations to their patients with the legally required detail and timing (in Germany, 24 h preop). This is however mandatory for obtaining informed consent. We developed a computer program that generates films explaining 24 common orthopedic operations and blood transfusion. They explain the operation, early postoperative phase, and benefits and risks to the patient. At our clinic, this program is used in daily routine and precedes the actual doctor-patient conversation for informed consent. We asked 300 patients about their satisfaction with the newly developed program. The multimedia presentation gives the patient more time, enough detail and clarity, and the chance to repeat parts of the film. For the doctor, it saves time. The time gap required in Germany between explanation and operation is thus easily adhered to. In case of legal problems, the film can be used for evidence. The use of this multimedia presentation to help in getting informed consent is improving workflow considerably.

[Being a nursing teacher in an informatized world].

The social phenomenology approach allowed us to understand that informatics projects are based on the biographic situation and the educational experiences of each teacher and their adoption happens voluntarily, in a reflection process on the favorable and unfavorable alternatives implied in the social context. Thus, we conjecture about the construction of teachers' technological and pedagogical competences and pro-active institutional policies that adhere to the contemporary society, seeking to integrate the new technologies with the needs of the profession and the human dimension of nursing.

Globalisation of health and medical informatics education--what are the issues?

PURPOSE: We are witnessing a paradigm shift in higher education as a result of technological advances, adoption of on-line learning and a greater participation in e-commerce by higher education providers. Given the dearth of academics with high-level expertise in health informatics in many countries, we need to explore how best to use our scarce resources to have the greatest possible impact regarding the preparation of health professionals such that they can make the best possible use of available informatics technologies to support health service delivery. METHODS: The International Medical Informatics Association's (IMIA) education working group together with its institutional (academic members) is exploring how best to provide global and collaborative health informatics education and research. Central Queensland University (CQU), one of these members, is also working with the Health Level Seven (HL7) organisation to provide specific standards education internationally using flexible delivery methods. RESULTS: A number of issues requiring further exploration and resolutions have been identified. An overview of these is provided.
