ABSTRACT: Knowledge transfer in surgery: skills, process and evaluation

INTRODUCTION: Knowledge transfer is an essential element in the management of surgical health care. In a routine clinical practice, surgeons need to make changes to the health care they provide as new clinical evidence emerges. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The information was derived from the authors' experience and research in evidence-based practice, searching of

ABSTRACT: A social network of hospital acquired infection built from electronic medical record data

Abstract Objective Social networks have been used in the study of outbreaks of infectious diseases, including in small group settings such as individual hospitals. Collecting the data needed to create such networks, however, can be time consuming, costly, and error prone. We sought to create a social network of hospital inpatients

ABSTRACT: The Regional Healthcare Ecosystem Analyst (RHEA): a simulation modeling tool to assist infectious disease control in a health system

Abstract Objective As healthcare systems continue to expand and interconnect with each other through patient sharing, administrators, policy makers, infection control specialists, and other decision makers may have to take account of the entire healthcare ‘ecosystem’ in infection control. Materials and methods We developed a software tool, the Regional Healthcare Ecosystem Analyst

ABSTRACT: Teaching medical students a clinical approach to altered mental status: simulation enhances traditional curriculum.

Abstract Introduction: Simulation-based medical education (SBME) is increasingly being utilized for teaching clinical skills in undergraduate medical education. Studies have evaluated the impact of adding SBME to third- and fourth-year curriculum; however, very little research has assessed its efficacy for teaching clinical skills in pre-clerkship coursework. To measure the impact of

ABSTRACT: Ten key considerations for the successful implementation and adoption of large-scale health information technology

Abstract The implementation of health information technology interventions is at the forefront of most policy agendas internationally. However, such undertakings are often far from straightforward as they require complex strategic planning accompanying the systemic organizational changes associated with such programs. Building on our experiences of designing and evaluating the implementation of

ABSTRACT: Validation study of a computer-based open surgical trainer: SimPraxis(®) simulation platform

BACKGROUND: Technological advances have dramatically changed medical education, particularly in the era of work-hour restrictions, which increasingly highlights a need for novel methods to teach surgical skills. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the validity of a novel, computer-based, interactive, cognitive simulator for training surgeons to perform pelvic lymph

ABSTRACT: Integrating improvement learning into a family medicine residency curriculum.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Knowledge of improvement practices is a critical skill for family medicine residents who will lead patient-centered medical homes. The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education includes systems-based practice and improvement knowledge as a core competency for residency education. The objective of this report is to describe the 6-year

ABSTRACT: Simulation training for acute medical specialist trainees: a pilot.

Simulation training is a method of interactive teaching and training for healthcare professionals. Medical education research demonstrates that high fidelity simulation leads to effective learning. Acute Medical Specialist Year Three-plus Trainee (ST3+) doctors are often required to manage high-pressure situations, requiring a combination of clinical and non-clinical abilities. We therefore

ABSTRACT: Educational Experiences Residents Perceive As Most Helpful for the Acquisition of the ACGME Competencies

BACKGROUND: The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) requires physicians in training to be educated in 6 competencies considered important for independent medical practice. There is little information about the experiences that residents feel contribute most to the acquisition of the competencies. OBJECTIVE: To understand how residents perceive their learning of the
