- 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
- ItemDatabase design and implementation for a PDA-based decision support system for screening and tailored care planning.(2008-08-12) Lee, Nam-Ju; Chen, Elizabeth; Mendonca, Eneida A; Velez, Olivia; Bakken, SuzanneThe database architecture for Mobile Decision Support for Advanced Practice Nursing MODS APN a personal digital assistant PDA based decision support system DSS for screening and tailored care planning by APN students consists of 6 Microsoft Access databases for data storage synchronization reporting and PDA user interfaces
- 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
- ItemThe REmote Patient Education in a Telemedicine Environment Architecture (REPETE).(2008-06-23) Lai, Albert M; Starren, Justin B; Kaufman, David R; Mendonca, Eneida A; Palmas, Walter; Nieh, Jason; Shea, StevenThe objective of the study was to develop and implement an architecture for remote training that can be used in the narrowband home telemedicine environment A remote training architecture the REmote Patient Education in a Telemedicine Environment REPETE architecture using a remote control protocol RCP was developed A set of design criteria was specified The developed architecture was integrated into the IDEATel home telemedicine unit HTU and evaluated against these design criteria using a combination of technical and expert evaluations Technical evaluation of the architecture demonstrated that remote cursor movements and positioning displayed on the HTU were smooth and effectively real time The trainers were able to observe within approximately 2 seconds lag what the patient sees on their HTU screen Evaluation of the architecture by experts was favorable Responses to a Likert scale questionnaire regarding audio quality and remote control performance indicated that the expert evaluators thought that the audio quality and remote control performance were adequate for remote training All evaluators strongly agreed that the system would be useful for training patients The REPETE architecture supports basic training needs over a narrowband dial up connection We were able to maintain an audio chat simultaneously with performing a remote training session while maintaining both acceptable audio quality and remote control performance The RCP provides a mechanism to provide training without requiring a trainer to go to the patient s home and effectively supports deictic referencing to on screen objects
