Evolving technologies for clinical practice and management: PDAs, tablets, thumb drives, and application software W. Scott Erdley and Peter J. Murray

W. Scott Erdley Clinical Associate Professor, University at Buffalo, NY, USA Fellow, CHIRAD Peter J. Murray Associate Lecturer, The University of Winchester, UK Founding Fellow and Director, CHIRAD

Collaborating on blogs, podcasts, vodcasts and other projects www.hi-blogs.info http://differance-engine.net/SINI2007blog/

Objectives At the completion of the session, the participants will be able to: 1. list a range of current and emerging tools and technologies that are and might be of use in healthcare settings 2. provide examples of ways in which these tools and technologies might be adopted by nurses 3. explain some of the reasons that issues such as patient safety and data access might be influenced by introducing new tools and technologies

Content 1. some current tools and technologies 2. convergence of tools and technologies; new tools 3. how tools and technologies are being used 4. how tools and technologies might impact nursing and healthcare 5. some issues in introducing new technologies into healthcare - 6. some strategies for incorporation into practice 7. a look further into the future - from the NI2006 Post Congress Conference An INTERACTIVE session – please contribute.

Some current tools / technologies

1. Some current tools / technologies (above and beyond PC’s et al)
Technologies
PDAs
Tablets
Smartphones
Biometrics
VoIP
Storage
Use (example)
POC, real-time access
Large screen/writing recognition
All-in-one
Security
Low-cost communication
Real-time data/information; low cost

2. Convergence and new directions
Multi-function devices:
- phone, PDA, email, Internet access, camera, MP3 player ... all in one
What does/will a computer look like?
Online versus local storage
Free software on proprietary OS – and vice versa
Ubiquitous wireless

2. Convergence and new directions
... and then there's Web 2.0 ...

O’Reilly 2004
Second generation of the Web
Web 2.0 doesn't have a
hard boundary ,
but rather, a gravitational core
Collaboration Interaction customization Openness is the core paradigm of content, tools and services in Web 2.0 digital environments

From: http://headrush.typepad.com/creating_passionate_users/2005/10/the_best_thing_.html The best thing about Web 2.0 is that… nobody knows what the hell it really means. Even the ones who coined the term are still struggling to find a compact definition. And this is the true beauty and power of Web 2.0 - it makes people think.

Web 2.0 websites are different from those of early web development, retroactively labelled Web 1.0. They are designed to deliver interactive, versus static, applications to end-users. Their content is characterised by open communication, decentralised authority, and freedom to share and re-use materials across a more dynamic, interlinked and interactive World Wide Web. They are often referred to as 'read/write web' applications.

3. How tools and technologies are being used
Personal
PIM / organizer
Individual clinical use
Reference
Patient tracking
Clinical practice
POC
Reference
EMR interface
Blending
Via WiFi
24/7 accessibility?

4. How tools and technologies might impact nursing and healthcare
Clinical practice
Increased EBP
Increased safety
Decreased errors
Economic
Decreased personal costs
Efficient care
Improved patient conditions
Increased patient care of patient

5. Some issues in introducing new technologies into healthcare Safety Security Training Future-proofing

A look at future interaction with your computer???

Future new ‘things’ to watch out for:
Wearables

6. Some strategies for incorporation into practice
Traditional
Superuser
Train the trainer
Mandate
Active user participation
aka grassroot movement
Workforce tools
Vendor support(ed)
? New – JIT etc.

7. A look further into the future - from the NI2006 Post Congress Conference The changing role of the nurse and nature of nursing Genomics as a basis for healthcare Wearable monitoring and computing Ubiquitous, always-on access A variety of demographic and other timebombs
