- ItemApproach to mobile information and communication for health care.(2004-07-12) Mendonca, Eneida A; Chen, Elizabeth S; Stetson, Peter D; McKnight, Lawrence K; Lei, Jianbo; Cimino, James JEvidence suggests that inadequate access to information and ineffective communication are proximal causes of errors and other adverse events in patient care Within the context of reducing these proximal causes of errors we explore the use of novel information based approaches to improve information access and communication in health care settings This paper describes the approaches for and the design of extensions to a clinical information system used to improve information access and communication at the point of care using information based handheld wireless applications These extensions include clinical and information resources event monitoring and a virtual whiteboard VWB
- ItemAutomated identification of shortcuts to patient data for a wireless handheld clinical information system.(2004-01-19) Chen, Elizabeth S; Hripcsak, George; Patel, Vimla L; Sengupta, Soumitra; Gallagher, Richard J; Cimino, James JInadequate access to patient information at the point of care has been identified as an impediment to the health care process To create clinical computing tools that are useful to and used by clinicians developers of clinical information systems must have accurate models of the users for whom their systems are intended To create these models the information needs of clinicians must be understood While the wireless handheld environment offers many advantages such as the ability to provide mobile access to information there are a number of challenges Developing for this environment differs from the laptop and desktop environments due to features such as processing power screen size input mechanism and bandwidth PalmCIS Palm based Clinical Information System is a clinical application being developed at New York Presbyterian Hospital NYPH that provides clinicians with access to patient data via a wireless handheld device We are using an automated technique to uncover patient specific information needs of clinicians while using a patient record system With the results we can enhance PalmCIS
- ItemDevelopment of infobuttons in a wireless environment.(2004-01-19) Lei, Jianbo; Chen, Elizabeth S; Stetson, Peter D; McKnight, Lawrence K; Mendonca, Eneida A; Cimino, James JAt Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center a clinical information system CIS called WebCIS is used by health care providers We have developed a palm based extension to WebCIS called PalmCIS which provides physicians access to clinical data through a wireless connection As part of PalmCIS we have added links to two on line information resources PubMed and Micromedex
- ItemPalmCIS: a wireless handheld application for satisfying clinician information needs.(2004-01-02) Chen, Elizabeth S; Mendonca, Eneida A; McKnight, Lawrence K; Stetson, Peter D; Lei, Jianbo; Cimino, James JWireless handheld technology provides new ways to deliver and present information As with any technology its unique features must be taken into consideration and its applications designed accordingly In the clinical setting availability of needed information can be crucial during the decision making process Preliminary studies performed at New York Presbyterian Hospital NYPH determined that there are inadequate access to information and ineffective communication among clinicians potential proximal causes of medical errors In response to these findings the authors have been developing extensions to their Web based clinical information system including PalmCIS an application that provides access to needed patient information via a wireless personal digital assistant PDA The focus was on achieving end to end security and developing a highly usable system This report discusses the motivation behind PalmCIS design and development of the system and future directions
- ItemPersonal digital educators.(2005-03-04) Cimino, James J; Bakken, Suzanne
