Summary
An audience response system (ARS) made undergraduate health information management lectures and reviews more interactive and engaging for students. The technology was preferred by students for its ability to facilitate learning and improve course delivery.
Area of Science:
- Health Information Management Education
- Educational Technology Integration
Background:
- Traditional lecture formats can limit student engagement in undergraduate courses.
- Interactive tools are needed to enhance active participation in health information management education.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the effectiveness of an audience response system (ARS) in an undergraduate Health Services Coding course.
- To assess student perceptions of ARS for lecture and test reviews.
Main Methods:
- An audience response system (ARS) was implemented in a 2008 undergraduate Health Services Coding course.
- ARS was used for interactive lecture and test reviews with 15 students (on-campus and distance learners).
Main Results:
- All responding students agreed that the ARS facilitated learning.
- Students found lectures and reviews more interesting and interactive with ARS.
- A preference for courses utilizing ARS was reported by students.
Conclusions:
- Audience response systems (ARS) can significantly enhance student engagement and learning in health information management courses.
- ARS technology offers a valuable tool for improving the interactivity of both on-campus and distance education delivery.

01:23Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation III: AED Use
Introduction to AEDAn Automated External Defibrillator (AED) is a portable medical device that analyzes the heart's rhythm and, if necessary, delivers an electrical shock to help the heart re-establish an effective rhythm during sudden cardiac arrest (SCA). SCA occurs when the heart suddenly and unexpectedly stops beating, leading to a loss of blood flow to the brain and other vital organs. In such emergencies, time is of the essence, and using an AED, combined with Cardiopulmonary...

01:26Methods Of Healthcare Delivery System
At the different levels of the healthcare system, we see varying methods of healthcare used. These methods include managed care systems, case management, and primary healthcare.
Managed Care System:
The managed care system is designed to control the cost while maintaining the quality of care. The patient's care from admission to discharge is planned by the primary care provider or the case manager, also known as the gatekeeper. In a managed care system, the number of care providers is limited...

01:21Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation I: Adult
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation, or CPR, is a life-saving emergency procedure performed when a person's heart has stopped beating or they are no longer breathing. The foundation of CPR is Basic Life Support (BLS), which focuses on the early recognition of cardiac arrest, the immediate start of high-quality chest compressions, and the timely use of an automated external defibrillator (AED).Assessing Responsiveness and Checking the Carotid PulseWhen approaching an unresponsive person, first ensure...
