Development Plan for the Clinical Application of Maternity and Child Health Mobile App.

In 2021, the World Health Organization designated the theme for World Patient Safety Day as "Safe Maternal and Newborn Care" with the aim of raising awareness of the importance of maternal and newborn safety and improving their overall safety. Many healthcare institutions in Taiwan currently provide printed materials such as childbirth guidelines and nursing instructions to patients. However, mobile applications in the current digital world might be more handy to assist pregnant women in understanding the changes during pregnancy and provide relevant health education in order to help reduce pregnancy and childbirth complications, as well as decrease maternal and neonatal mortality rates.

Developing a professional-practice-model-based nursing organizational informatics competency model.

Background: The development of nursing informatics started late in China. There is an urgent need to develop a clinical practice model that can guide nursing managers in constructing an organizational nursing informatics competency.

Objective: The objective of this study was to develop a nursing organizational informatics competency model based on the Professional Practice Model (PPM) and to provide a reference for training in clinical nursing informatics in hospitals.

How Key Stakeholders Perceive a Smart Mobile Integrated Care System for the Elderly.

Integrated care has been an important model for caring the elderly. In China, it is still at its very early stage. We proposed a new model to develop a smart mobile system, taking the CARE instrument as the base and composed of apps for stakeholders.

Technology Informatics Guiding Education Reform (TIGER). The Future of Interprofessional Education Is Here!

This session will describe the TIGER Initiative journey, its evolution and accomplishments nationally and internationally. A powerful demonstration of the TIGER Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) will be highlighted along with case studies from around the world, with emphasis on global competencies and opportunities for engagement in all current TIGER activities and future plans.

Design of an Intelligent Nursing Clinical Pathway and Nursing Order Support System for Traditional Chinese Medicine.

With an in-depth analysis of nursing work in 14 hospitals over a period of two years, one unique total nursing information system framework was established where the nursing clinical pathways are used as the main frame and the nursing orders as the nodes on the frame. We used the nursing order concept with the principles of nursing process. A closed-loop management model composed of the nursing orders was set up to solve nursing problems.

An Efficient User Interface Design for Nursing Information System Based on Integrated Patient Order Information.

A user friendly interface can enhance the efficiency of data entry, which is crucial for building a complete database. In this study, two user interfaces (traditional pull-down menu vs. check boxes) are proposed and evaluated based on medical records with fever medication orders by measuring the time for data entry, steps for each data entry record, and the complete rate of each medical record.

Leading the Development of Our New Nursing Information System with the TIGER-Based Taiwan Model.

Our nursing information system has been incomplete and not very reliable. The situation is not changed because our IT department is seriously understaffed and the HIS vendor is weak. We decided to take the responsibility to lead the development of our NIS using the Taiwan model to develop our TIGER-based new strategies.

From a Suspect Victim to the Holmes: The Unexpected Value of a Home-Made Mobile Chemotherapy Medication Administration System.

Nurse used to be the first one to be investigated in a drug adverse event. Our newly hospital-wide implemented home-made mobile chemotherapy medication support system, which has released our nurses from the traditional heavy 2-nurse-double-checking loading, was unexpectedly used to protect our nurses from being suspected in a recent event of over delivery of infusion. The outcome turned us to reexamine the device maintenance and test protocols.

A total design and implementation of an intelligent mobile chemotherapy medication administration.

The chemotherapy medication administration is a process involved many stakeholders and efforts. Therefore, the information support system cannot be well designed if the entire process was not carefully examined and reengineered first. We, from a 805-teaching medical center, did a process reengineering and involved physicians, pharmacists and IT engineers to work together to design a mobile support solution.

The relationship of learning motivation, achievement and satisfaction for nurses learning simple excel VBA information systems programming.

This study aims to understand the relationship between participating nurses' motivation, achievement and satisfaction before and after they learned to program in Excel Visual Basic for Applications (Excel VBA). We held a workshop to train nurses in developing simple Excel VBA information systems to support their clinical or administrative practices. Before and after the workshop, the participants were evaluated on their knowledge of Excel VBA, and a questionnaire was given to survey their learning motivation and satisfaction.

A course to teach students to learn mobile health by serving the elderly.

We designed a special course based on Service Learning theory to train the undergraduate students to teach the elderly people in community college to learn using smartphones for health. A 2-credit course was designed, composed of lecture & discussion and community service. 20 undergrduate stundents from university and 26 seniors from community college registered at this course.

A Newborn Baby Care Support App and System for mHealth.

This study was to develop a usability-engineered mhealth application for a mother with new-born baby and to evaluate its acceptance. Baby's Health Handbook and hospital consultation service records were analyzed to design the contents of app. Special interface design principles were used for enhancing usability.

Developing a visualized patient-centered, flow-based and objective-oriented care path of cardiac catheterization examination.

It has been known that visualization is a user-preferred and more meaningful interface of information systems. To reduce the anxiety and uncertainty of patients, we transformed the sophisticated process of cardiac catheterization into visualized information. The Microsoft Visio 2003 and Excel 2003 with the VBA automation tool were used to design a process flow of Cardiac Catheterization.

A simple and useful solution for visualizing the care flow for patients and healthcare professionals.

It has been known that visualization is a user-preferred and more meaningful interface of information systems. We used the Microsoft Visio 2003 and Excel 2003 with the VBA automation tool to design a process flow of Cardiac Catheterization. The results showed the technical feasibility and potentials of using simple tool to visualize the nursing process for both patients and healthcare professionals.
