Introducing electronic logbooks for anaesthesia trainees in the UK offers advantages. A computerized system using palmtop computers effectively analyzed trainee workload, revealing unexpected results and areas for improvement.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Health Informatics

Background:

  • The Royal College of Anaesthetists mandates logbooks for anaesthesia trainees to document clinical experience.
  • Electronic logbooks offer potential advantages over traditional paper-based systems.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the utility of a computerized electronic logbook system for anaesthesia trainees in a UK district general hospital.

Main Methods:

  • A palmtop computer-based system was implemented for trainees to record clinical anaesthesia experience.
  • A dedicated program analyzed downloaded data to report individual trainee workloads.

Main Results:

  • The computerized system enabled detailed analysis of trainee workload.
  • The study identified interesting and unexpected findings regarding trainee experience.
