Patient teaching has always been a part of quality nursing care. It is now more important than ever in order to ensure quality care and safety after discharge from the hospital. Nursing managers must develop cost-effective strategies for patient education in the current atmosphere of cost-containment and constant changes in health care. One method of accomplishing this is to utilize a hospital computer system to provide teaching materials and a documentation tool.
Precise three-dimensional modeling and visualization of human anatomy and pathology are important in medicine. Three-dimensional models have applications in the training of medical students and residents and aid physicians evaluate and determine appropriate clinical management of patients. Three-dimensional reconstructions of radiographic images have been available for some time now. However, electronic reconstruction of these images often requires the utilization of large computer systems or workstations and also requires highly trained and specialized technicians to perform the task. This paper presents a technique for precise three-dimensional reconstruction of the human anatomy and pathology using an 80486 IBM compatible personal computer and commercially available software. We reconstructed the images from computed tomography scans. Implementation of this technique does not require extensive training and shows good results after a short learning curve.
Continuing medical education is a key feature of ensuring quality delivery of health care by doctors. In a rapidly changing technological environment it is important that medical education is undertaken in an effective and efficient manner. EuroTransMed, set up as an experiment to investigate the use of satellite-delivered continuing medical education, now supplies regular programming to receive sites in 20 European countries. Programmes are broadcast live and are interactive, enabling doctors to have access to experts and opinion leaders and to question and challenge them. This review paper highlights the development and technical problems which have taken place during the initial establishment of EuroTransMed. The current status and future prospects are identified.
