This study introduces a palm computer database system for tracking resident procedures and resuscitations. The innovative method improves data capture and reduces administrative burden for medical residency programs.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Health Informatics
  • Residency Training

Background:

  • Tracking resident procedures and resuscitations is crucial for accreditation and hospital privileges.
  • Existing tracking systems are often cumbersome, leading to data loss and inaccuracies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate a novel palm computer database tracking system for resident procedure and resuscitation logging.
  • To assess the system's efficiency, data accuracy, and impact on administrative workload.

Main Methods:

  • Implemented a custom data collection form on Palm III devices for residents.
  • Residents logged procedures and resuscitations post-encounter, with data transferred via 'HotSync' to a central database.
  • Utilized Access97 for data manipulation and report generation.

Main Results:

  • The system demonstrated improved data capture compared to traditional methods.
  • Reduced the time and effort required from secretarial staff.
  • Provided enhanced tracking of resident experiences, aiding in accreditation and privilege applications.

Conclusions:

  • The palm computer database system offers an inexpensive and effective solution for resident procedure and resuscitation tracking.
  • This technology streamlines data management, improves accuracy, and supports residency program accreditation.
