项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Specific Aims The specific aims of this study are to: 1. refine a data collection instrument and data collection method for quantifying the information needs of healthcare practitioners, and 2. characterize the information needs of healthcare practitioners during the care of cardiovascular surgical patients. Method In the proposed study, observations will take place in an adult cardiovascular intensive care unit and categories of unit staff observed will include nurses, physicians, therapists, pharmacists, laboratory and clerical staff. Each observed communication and information-seeking episode will be recorded on a context specific electronic data collection tool designed by the researcher. A communication episode is defined as an exchange of information between one clinician and another person for a single purpose. An information seeking episode is defined as the action of retrieving information from a source other than another staff member. When a communication or information seeking episode occurs, corresponding numerical codes will be entered on the data collection tool, which includes the duration, the mode, the target, and the purpose of the communication or information search. Analysis appropriate for the nominal level data to be collected in this study includes frequencies, percentages, and chi-square measure of association. Future Research Through the examination of each individual involved in the care of a specific type of patient (cardiovascular surgical), the investigator is striving for a patient centered set of practitioner information needs that are context specific for the design of information and communication systems in intensive care units. In addition, describing the communication and information seeking patterns of each group individually, will illustrate the necessary content and mode of information delivery applicable to their specialty. This knowledge will be used to design specifically tailored system interventions for each unit staff specialty. Study data will be included in funding proposals to be submitted to national agencies. Possible, funding targets include: National Library of Medicine (NLM), National Science Foundation (NSF), and the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs.

描述（由申请人提供）：具体目的本研究的具体目的是：1。完善一种数据收集工具和数据收集方法，用于量化医疗保健从业者的信息需求，而2。在护理心血管手术患者护理过程中，特征是医疗保健从业者的信息需求。在拟议的研究中，观察结果将在成人心血管重症监护病房进行，观察到的单位人员类别将包括护士，医生，治疗师，药剂师，实验室和文书人员。每个观察到的沟通和寻求信息的情节将记录在由研究人员设计的上下文特定电子数据收集工具上。沟通情节定义为一个临床医生和另一个人之间的信息交换。寻求情节的信息定义为从其他工作人员以外的来源检索信息的行动。当发生通信或信息搜索情节时，将在数据收集工具上输入相应的数值代码，其中包括持续时间，模式，目标以及通信或信息搜索的目的。适用于本研究中要收集的名义级别数据的分析包括频率，百分比和卡方关联度度量。通过检查参与特定类型的患者（心血管外科手术）的每个人的未来研究，研究人员正在努力寻求以患者为中心的从业者信息需求，这些信息是针对重症监护病房中信息和通信系统设计的背景。此外，描述每个组的通信和信息寻求模式，将说明适用于其专业的必要内容和信息方式。这些知识将用于设计为每个单位员工专业的专门定制的系统干预措施。研究数据将包括在提交给国家机构的资金建议中。可能的资金目标包括：国家医学图书馆（NLM），国家科学基金会（NSF），小型企业创新研究（SBIR）和小型企业技术转移（STTR）计划。
