Effective Use

Although most pediatricians agree on the importance of teaching parents and children about health care, they may not succeed in patient education because of a lack of the requisite communication skills, inadequate printed materials to augment personal involvement, a tendency to substitute such materials for personal involvement, and inadequate compensation. Physician recognition of an obligation to teach is a requisite for effective education. Adjustment of current practices is essential: use of educational materials must be systematically incorporated, educational efforts must make effective use of time and be cost-effective. Information should be readily understood, parents given an opportunity to ask questions, and effectiveness of the education evaluated. Pediatricians must have a constant source of supplementary material to use in patient education. Videotapes and interactive computer programs should be considered for more effective communication. Residency programs must teach future pediatricians how to educate parents and children.

Therapeutic Considerations

The pharmacist can play a key role in the development of critical pathways for disease states with warfarin as a component of therapy. The pharmacist must be familiar with the complex therapeutic considerations involved with warfarin therapy. This paper will briefly review warfarin therapeutics and will discuss strategies for pharmacist involvement in development of critical pathways including warfarin therapy. Participation in the multidisciplinary planning of critical pathways provides an excellent opportunity to contribute to the efficient, safe, and cost-effective use of warfarin.

The Impact

Objective: Medical podcasts are becoming increasingly available; however, it is unclear how these new resources are being used by trainees or whether they influence clinical practice. This study explores the preferences and experiences of otolaryngology residents with otolaryngology-specific podcasts, and the impact of these podcasts on resident education and clinical practice. Methods: An 18-question survey was distributed anonymously to a representative junior (up to post-graduate year 3) and senior (post-graduate year 4 or greater) otolaryngology residents at most programs across the US. Along with demographic information, the survey was designed to explore the preferences of educational materials, podcast listening habits and motivations, and influence of podcasts on medical practice. Descriptive statistics and student t-tests were used to analyze the results. Results: The survey was distributed to 198 current otolaryngology residents representing 94% of eligible residency programs and was completed by 73 residents (37% response rate). Nearly 3-quarters of respondents reported previous use of otolaryngology podcasts, among which 83% listen at least monthly. Over half of residents changed their overall clinical (53%) and consult (51%) practice based on podcast use. Residents rank-ordered listening to podcasts last among traditional options for asynchronous learning, including reading textbooks and watching online videos. Conclusions: While other asynchronous learning tools remain popular, most residents responding to this survey use podcasts and report that podcasts influence their clinical practice. This study reveals how podcasts are currently used as a supplement to formal otolaryngology education. Results from the survey may inform how medical podcasts could be implemented into resident education in the future.

Abstract Background Patient education materials produced by national anesthesiology associations could be used to facilitate patient informed consent and promote the discipline of anesthesiology. To achieve these goals, materials must use language that most adults can understand. Health organizations recommend that materials be written at the grade 8 level or less to ensure that they are understood by laypersons. The authors, therefore, investigated the language of educational materials produced by anesthesiology associations. Methods Educational materials were downloaded from the Web sites of 24 national anesthesiology associations, as available. Materials were divided into eight topics, resulting in 112 separate passages. Linguistic measures were calculated using Coh-Metrix (version 3.0; Memphis, USA) linguistic software. The authors compared the measures to a grade 8 standard and examined the influence of both passage topic and country of origin using multivariate ANOVA. Results The authors found that 67% of associations provided online educational materials. None of the passages had all linguistic measures at or below the grade 8 level. Linguistic measures were influenced by both passage topic (F = 3.64; P < 0.0001) and country of origin (F = 7.26; P < 0.0001). Contrast showed that passages describing the role of anesthesiologists in perioperative care used language that was especially inappropriate. Conclusions Those associations that provided materials used words that were long and abstract. The language used was especially inappropriate for topics that are critical to facilitating patient informed consent and promoting the discipline of anesthesiology. Anesthesiology associations should simplify their materials and should consider screening their materials with linguistic software before making them public.

Rheumatology nurse specialists are key to the delivery and the sustainability of rheumatology services. They provide nurse-led clinics utilizing advanced expert knowledge and clinical skills to ensure patients receive evidence-based quality care using a shared decision-making approach; they educate and empower patients; refer and signpost patients to other services/agencies; keep patients safe; and demonstrate improved health outcome and cost-effective use of healthcare resources. This chapter describes the different components of the nurse specialist role. It then goes on to discuss the principles and methods of nurse prescribing, including managing drug interactions. The chapter ends with a section on the role of nurse specialists in rapid access to specific services (such as early arthritis clinics).

In today's complex organizations, IT governance is an important managerial challenge. IT governance deals with decisions and responsibilities concerning IT. There are many factors influencing IT governance. One factor that has remained relatively unexplored by academic research is that of organizational culture. This research explores the influence of the organizational culture of collaborative networks on IT governance performance. A case study was conducted in a large complex company with several networks. The findings indicated that the networks fit better with different organizational culture types based on their priorities for IT governance outcomes to maximize performance. A clan organizational culture is desired when aiming for effective use of IT for asset utilization and cost-effective use of IT. An adhocracy culture fits better when prioritizing the effective use of IT for business growth. Finally, a combination of market and hierarchy organizational culture is desired and fits better when seeking effective use of IT for business flexibility and cost cutting.

AbstractIntroduction. This paper tries to elucidate the possible differences in time distribution in a classical dance (CLD) class, depending on whether it is taught using recorded music (CD) or live music played by the piano teacher accompanying the dance (PD).Material and methods. In this work, different temporal categories have been compared according to the style of dance of 89 female students divided into two groups: classical-contemporary dance and Spanish-flamenco dance, with CD or PD.Results. Higher values were obtained in most of the categories in the classical-contemporary group than in the Spanish-flamenco group, and the differences were maintained according to the musical resource used, with better results when using live music.Conclusions. PD in CLD classes can result in more profitable sessions for both students and teachers due to more cost-effective use of time during classes.
