Building on Rogers’ Diffusion of Innovation Theory, Bass models describe the diffusion processes distinguishing between innovation (p) and imitation (q). This study aimed at modelling the uptake of RIS, PACS and EHR systems in Germany and Finland. The Bass models revealed a quick and almost identical uptake process across all three systems for Finland. In contrast, the Bass models mirrored a slower uptake in Germany. Consequently, the Finnish “imitation” coefficients were larger than the German ones. While in Germany almost free market forces were driving the adoption through imitation but without tail wind from policy, the adoption process in Finland was centrally governed. This suggests that the diffusion process in Finland reflected a well-managed roll-out of the systems rather than imitation behaviour. Thus, in order for Bass model coefficients to be understood properly, additional contextual information is required.
This paper provides a discourse based upon the key development of nursing in response to the emerging 4Ds of health technology re-design. Building informatics capability among health professionals is a workforce issue necessitated through the increasing prevalence of information technology and digitization of healthcare affecting the entire health workforce, specifically front-line nurses. The key concepts will be explored of Digitization, Distribution, Disruption and Diversity, a framework recognising the tsunami of technology such as Big Data analytics, comprehensive decision support systems for nursing, nanobots, robotics, and pharmacogenomics and the impact these have upon the nursing workforce.
Comparison of quantitative sensory testing profles between people living in Germany and Australia

Rationale:
Biomechanical analyses are capable of capturing and evaluating human motions. In addition to the major biomechanical fields of kinetics and kinematics, electromyography (EMG) provides a reliable way to analyse neuromuscular activities, e.g. inter- and intramuscular coordination, fatigue behavior or timing. Based on these parameters it is possible to conclude to clinically relevant parameters such as motor control, muscular coordination or compensation strategies with different loads. In addition to this, EMG can be used in treatment itself, e.g. biofeedback-training with an EMG is an effective and evidenced based tool to improve neuromuscular control.
Purpose:
To show the importance of EMG in musicians´ health and to demonstrate additional therapy and diagnostic options.
Educational Objectives:
At the end of the workshop, the participants will be able to…
1. understand and describe the basic principles of EMG
2. understand and describe the importance of EMG in the context of musicians´ health, physical therapy and the clinical reasoning process
3. use EMG on musicians in the performance process
Content of Presentation:
This workshop briefly introduces the theoretical principles of EMG and the clinical applications in the context of musicians´ health. It explains why EMG provides an additional value in the clinical reasoning process and supports the therapist, but decision making in the clinical reasoning process should never be based on EMG solely.
In the further course of the workshop the use of EMG in diagnostics and therapy (biofeedback) with musicians is practically demonstrated and discussed with the participants.
Approach of Presentation:
1. Short presentation: introduction and understanding of EMG (educational objective 1)
2. Short case presentation of a musician to introduce EMG in the field of musicians´ health and the clinical reasoning process (educational objective 2)
3. Interactive practical demonstration (diagnosis and biofeedback-training) as the central part of the workshop. Questions and comments will be discussed directly throughout the group (educational objective 3)
Clinical Significance:
EMG based functional neuromuscular diagnostics and biofeedback-training provides both the therapist as well as the musician with additional value in their clinical work.

The PosiThera project focuses on the management of chronic wounds, which is multi-professional and multi-disciplinary. For this context, a software prototype was developed in the project, which is intended to support medical and nursing staff with the assistance of artificial intelligence. In accordance with the user-centred design, national workshops were held at the beginning of the project with the involvement of domain experts in wound care in order to identify requirements and use cases of IT systems in wound care, with a focus on AI. In this study, the focus was on involving nursing and nursing science staff in testing the software prototype to gain insights into its functionality and usability. The overarching goal of the iterative testing and adaptation process is to further develop the prototype in a way that is close to care.
INTRODUCCIÓN: Entre los actores del sistema de salud alemán, sólo los médicos y dentistas se formaron en las universidades. Desde enero 2020 está en vigor una nueva ley de partería que obliga a la formación de matronas en las universidades. Hasta ahora, las matronas han sido entrenadas tres años en escuelas vocacionales afiliadas a hospitales; el bachillerato no era un requisito previo. El pensamiento y el trabajo científico, así como la reflexión crítica sobre la propia práctica no formaban parte sistemáticamente del curriculo. Paralelamente a este sistema de entrenamiento, unas pocas ciudades alemanas han estado ensayando y evaluando cursos universitarios para matronas durante una década. En la realización práctica, la aplicación generalizada de la nueva ley representa un desafío.
OBJETIVO: En esta comunicacíon se presentará el estado actual de la aplicación de la academización de las matronas en Alemania un año después de la promulgación de la nueva ley de partería.
MATERIAL Y MÉTODO: Análisis de la situación con la ayuda de textos jurídicos, programas de estudio, artículos científicos, páginas web y entrevistas personales.
RESULTADOS: El número de programas de estudio ya iniciados es menor que el número previsto originalmente. Los siguientes son factores que inhiben la rápida aplicación de la ley: el systema de federalismo en Alemania, la falta de matronas suficientemente cualificadas (doctorado) para el liderazgo de los cursos universitarios y para la docencia, las dudas extendidas en la profesión y entre otros actores de la atención de la salud y finalmente también las características del sistema de educación universitaria en Alemania.
CONCLUSIONES: Cambiar la formación de una profesión es una tarea importante que conlleva desafíos. Los factores que dificultan la aplicación de la ley para las matronas en Alemania aún no han sido analizados sistemáticamente. Esto sería necesario para poder adoptar medidas específicas para promover la aplicación. Todavía queda mucho camino por recorrer antes de que la formación de las matronas en Alemania cambie realmente para mejor.
