Conducting conference calls.

Conducting a conference call essentially is the same as conducting a meeting. The author writes the article assuming that the conference calls are audio only (no visual interface). Keeping this in mind, the main differences between conducting a conference call and conducting a face-to-face meeting are that: 1) the participants may live in geographically remote sites, 2) each participant must take special care to eliminate noise distractions, and 3) the moderator must keep the meeting on track because of the expense associated with using a conference bridge. The author shares tips for conducting effective conference calls and two conference call checklists designed to facilitate planning, execution, and follow-up.

The challenge of developing a regional palliative care data system: a tale of two cities.

This article reviews the purposes of health care databases and the findings from a literature review of the use of patient databases in palliative care. We present the history and goals of databases developed in two Canadian settings, Hamilton and Halifax. We present data on the strengths, limitations, and difficulties encountered in each setting. We review the types of data collected and the potential of these databases, and we offer practical recommendations for others looking to set up such systems.
