ABSTRACT
This describes a prototype made to support and augment continuous learning for the employees at an Intensive Care Unit. The prototype is made from off-the-shelf products. The prototype is a mobile interface consisting of a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) and a barcode reader. On the PDA are a number of short video-films produced by the employees (especially the nurses) at the Intensive Care Unit. The content of the video-films vary from instructions about medical equipment to films about handling of sores, reflections on "best practices" etc. Barcodes distributed in the Intensive Care environment give access to the video-films. A running prototype will be demonstrated and the conference participants will be able to try the prototype themselves. Furthermore a short video-film will give examples of nurses producing video-films, discussing the video-films, and using the PDA prototype.

EMR Usage and Nurse Documentation Burden in a Medical Intensive Care Unit
Digital Human Modeling and Applications in Health, Safety, Ergonomics and Risk Management. Health, Operations Management, and DesignAbstractElectronic medical records (EMRs) are a standard documentation system that contains vital patient health history. Although EMR system was implemented to improve nurse documentation, many healthcare workers feel the burden of EMR documentation. Due ...
Improving Computerized Charting in an Intensive Care Unit
Digital Human Modeling. Applications in Health, Safety, Ergonomics, and Risk ManagementAbstractThe purpose of this study is to look deeper into an electronic medical record (EMR) system to find inefficiencies within the overall charting process. Along with collecting observation data on nurses within the University of Missouri Hospital ...
Distributed architecture system for monitoring intensive care patients
IMSA '07: Proceedings of the Eleventh IASTED International Conference on Internet and Multimedia Systems and ApplicationsThe main goal of an Intensive Care Unit (ICU) is to stabilize patients who are in critical condition. To this end, patients' vital signs are recorded using monitoring systems that employ different types of sensors. The attending physician analyzes these ...
