Although national eHealth strategies have existed now for more than a decade in many countries, they have been implemented with varying success. In Germany, the eHealth strategy so far has resulted in a roll out of electronic health cards for all citizens in the statutory health insurance, but in no clinically meaningful IT-applications. The aim of this study was to test the technical and organisation feasibility, usability, and utility of an eDischarge application embedded into a laboratory Health Telematics Infrastructure (TI). The tests embraced the exchange of eDischarge summaries based on the multiprofessional HL7 eNursing Summary standard between a municipal hospital and a nursing home. All in all, 36 transmissions of electronic discharge documents took place. They demonstrated the technical-organisation feasibility and resulted in moderate usability ratings. A comparison between eDischarge and paper-based summaries hinted at higher ratings of utility and information completeness for eDischarges. Despite problems with handling the electronic health card, the proof-of-concept for the first clinically meaningful IT-application in the German Health TI could be regarded as successful.
Innovations are typically characterised by their relative newness for the user. In order for new eHealth applications to be accepted as innovations more criteria were proposed including “use” and “usability”. The handoverEHR is a new approach that allows the user to translate the essentials of a clinical case into a graphical representation, the so-called cognitive map of the patient. This study aimed at testing the software usability. A convenience sample of 23 experienced nurses from different healthcare organisations across the country rated the usability of the handoverEHR after performing typical handover tasks. All usability scales of the IsoMetricsL questionnaire showed positive values (4 “I agree”) with the exception of “error tolerance” (3 “neutral statement”). A significant improvement was found in self-descriptiveness as compared to an initial usability testing prior to this study. Different subgroups of users tended to rate the usability of the system differently. This study demonstrated the benefits of formative evaluations in terms of improving the usability of an entirely new approach. It thus helps to transform a novel piece of software towards becoming a real innovation. Our findings also hint at the importance of user characteristics that could affect the usability ratings.
Informatics competencies of the health care workforce must meet the requirements of inter-professional process and outcome oriented provision of care. In order to help nursing education transform accordingly, the TIGER Initiative deployed an international survey, with participation from 21 countries, to evaluate and prioritise a broad list of core competencies for nurses in five domains: 1) nursing management, 2) information technology (IT) management in nursing, 3) interprofessional coordination of care, 4) quality management, and 5) clinical nursing. Informatics core competencies were found highly important for all domains. In addition, this project compiled eight national cases studies from Austria, Finland, Germany, Ireland, New Zealand, the Philippines, Portugal, and Switzerland that reflected the country specific perspective. These findings will lead us to an international framework of informatics recommendations.
Die Digitalisierung soll die Energieversorgung effizienter und flexibler machen. Künftige Lösungen müssen vor allem die fluktuierende Erzeugung und den Verbrauch in Einklang bringen – ggf. unter Einbeziehung von Energiespeichern. Ein wichtiger Baustein auf diesem Weg ist nach Ansicht des Gesetzgebers die Einführung einer neuen Mess- und Kommunikationsinfrastruktur. Mit dem Gesetz zur Digitalisierung der Energiewende ist nun die rechtliche Basis für den verpflichtenden Einbau von intelligenten Messsystemen (Smart Meter) gelegt worden. Diese Geräte sollen Verbraucher präzise über den eigenen Stromverbrauch informieren, variable Tarife ermöglichen und als Kommunikationsplattform im intelligenten Energienetz dienen. Der Beitrag analysiert nach einem kurzen Überblick über die Bedeutung und Entwicklung des Smart Metering (I.) die grundlegenden Neuerungen des Rechtsrahmens zum Messstellenbetrieb (II.). Auf dieser Grundlage werden die Regelungen einer kritischen Würdigung unterzogen (III.). Ein Fazit schließt diesen Beitrag ab (IV.).
An Iterative Methodology for Developing National Recommendations for Nursing Informatics Curricula
(2016)
The increasing importance of IT in nursing requires educational measures to support its meaningful application. However, many countries do not yet have national recommendations for nursing informatics competencies. We thus developed an iterative triple methodology to yield validated and country specific recommendations for informatics core competencies in nursing. We identified relevant competencies from national sources (step 1), matched and enriched these with input from the international literature (step 2) and fed the resulting 24 core competencies into a survey (120 invited experts from which 87 responded) and two focus group sessions with a total of 48 experts (steps 3a/3b). The subsequent focus group sessions confirmed and expanded the findings. As a result, we were able to define role specific informatics core competencies for three countries.
This workshop will review the history of the TIGER initiative in order to set the framework for an understanding of international informatics competencies. We will include a description of clinical nursing informatics programs in 37 countries as well as the results of a recent survey of nursing competencies in order to further discussions of internationally agreed-upon competency definitions. These two surveys will provide the basis for developing a consensus regarding the integration of core competencies into informatics curriculum developments. Expected outcomes include building consensus on core competencies and developing plans toward implementing intra- and inter-professional informatics competencies across disciplines globally.
Hospital CIOs play a central role in the adoption of innovative health IT. Until now, it remained unclear which particular conditions constitute their capability to innovate in terms of intrapersonal as well as organisational factors. An inventory of 20 items was developed to capture these conditions and examined by analysing data obtained from 164 German hospital CIOs. Principal component analysis resulted in three internally consistent components that constitute large portions of the CIOs innovation capability: organisational innovation culture, entrepreneurship personality and openness towards users. Results were used to build composite indicators that allow further evaluations.
Der vorliegende Beitrag geht der Frage nach, inwieweit Geschäftsmodellentwicklung eine Strategie zur Überwindung von Marktversagen in der Assekuranz darstellt. Insbesondere soll gezeigt werden, dass eine Abkehr von der klassischen Beziehung zwischen Versichertem und Versicherer auf Basis eines bilateralen Vertrags neue Märkte eröffnet und mit neuartigen P2P-Geschäftsmodellen bislang nicht-versicherbare Risiken abgesichert werden können. Als empirisches Feld wurde die Absicherung von Wildschäden gewählt, da es sich aktuell um einen Bereich handelt, in dem Marktversagen vorliegt. Auf Basis von 16 episodischen Interviews mit Vertretern der Gemeinschaft der Jäger werden Bedürfnisstrukturen und relevante Kontextfaktoren aufgedeckt und im Hinblick auf Risikoabsicherung und Schadenmanagement zwischen den Communitymitgliedern analysiert. Dieser Beitrag stellt somit eine Gegenposition zum traditionellen Versicherungsgeschäft dar, bei der die Absicherung auf einem großen und diversifizierten Risikokollektiv beruht.
