Aims: The Opioid Manager (OM) is a point-of-care paper tool for physicians, which summarizes the Canadian Guideline for Safe and Effective Use of Opioids for Chronic Non-Cancer Pain. To evaluate the efficacy of the OM, there is a need to better understand how physicians are using the OM, and how it is relevant to their practice.Methods: Semistructured interviews were conducted with six family physicians in Ontario with clinical pain management experience. The interviews were analyzed using content analysis. The technique of “code-recode” was conducted by two analysts to verify content validity.Results: The following main themes emerged: 1) OM as a communication tool; 2) OM as an educational tool; 3) OM as a clinical tool; 4) OM content/design; 5) OM benefits; 6) who the OM is used with; 7) OM potential; and 8) challenges of pain management. Physicians' commented the OM was a useful reference for helping their clinical decision making regarding opioids, and used it to educate and communicate with their patients/colleagues. Although many felt the content/design of the OM had a number of good features, there was a need for modifications (ie, merge with other tools and create electronic version). Given the challenges associated with pain management, a number of benefits were derived from using the OM (ie, protection and building therapeutic alliance), and respondents' felt the tool had the potential to meet a number of unmet needs related to opioid management.Conclusions: Overall, the OM was viewed positively for improving pain management practices but further work is required to refine the tool's potential.

Mobile Communication Technology

Mobile communication technology has become one of the most popular technologies, profoundly associated with many users’ everyday life. Mobile communication technology has evolved from a simple communication tool to mobile multimedia. This chapter concentrates on ‘mobile TV,’ the convergence of digital broadcasting and telecommunications. The main purpose of this chapter is to explore the diffusion and adoption of mobile TV-DMB (Digital Multimedia Broadcasting) in its early stages and examine the use of mobile TV-DMB in a wide range of everyday practices. This chapter also focuses on the factors that influence the adoption and use of mobile TV-DMB, and a contextual understanding of DMB that may affect media use patterns in a wide range of social and cultural contexts. The results of this study underline the potential of the broad integration of mobile TV-DMB into people’s everyday life.

The Impact

BackgroundPoint-of-care C-reactive protein (CRP) testing is widely accepted in Dutch general practice for adult patients with acute cough, but GPs’ perceptions of its use in children with suspected lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI) are unknown. Knowledge of these perceptions is important when considering broadening its indication to use in children.AimTo explore the perceptions of Dutch GPs of the addition of point-of-care CRP testing to the diagnostic evaluation of children, and compare these to their perceptions of use in adults.Design & settingA qualitative study in general practice in the Netherlands.MethodSemi-structured interviews were held with 11 GPs. Interviews were analysed using open coding and a thematic approach.ResultsGPs’ perceptions of the addition of point-of-care CRP testing to diagnostic process in children with suspected LRTI differ from their perceptions of this in adults. Five themes were identified: patient characteristics; vulnerability of the child; clinical presentation; availability of evidence; the impact of the procedure; and use of point-of-care CRP testing as a communication tool.ConclusionDifferences between the perceptions of using point-of-care CRP testing in children and adults need to be addressed when considering the possible implementation of this diagnostic instrument.
