Ethics in Research

26.1K
Today, scientists agree that good research is ethical in nature and is guided by a basic respect for human dignity and safety. However, this has not always been the case. Modern researchers must demonstrate that the research they perform is ethically sound.

Archival Research

17.5K
Some researchers gain access to large amounts of data without interacting with a single research participant. Instead, they use existing records to answer various research questions. This type of research approach is known as archival research. Archival research relies on looking at past records or data sets to look for interesting patterns or relationships. For example, a researcher might access the academic records of all individuals who enrolled in college within the past ten years and...

Methods of Documentation VII: EMR

1.5K
Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) primarily center around electronically documenting patients' health information within a single healthcare organization or practice. They contain essential clinical data related to a patient's medical history, diagnoses, medications, treatment plans, lab results, and other pertinent information relevant to the specific encounter or episode of care. EMRs are designed to streamline documentation and workflow processes within individual healthcare...

Data Collection I01:30

Data Collection I

8.8K
Data collection gathers information needed to make accurate judgments about a patient's present condition. During a health history interview, subjective data is collected from the patient, their caregivers, or family members, and objective data is collected through observations and physical assessment. Patients are the primary source of subjective data. Thus information gathered from patients through interviews, observations, and physical examination is primary data. Secondary sources of...

Problem-intervention-evaluation (PIE) is a systematic approach to documentation used in healthcare settings for clinical decision-making and patient care planning. It is a structured approach to organizing patient data based on problems, interventions, and evaluations. Here's a breakdown of its key features and considerations:

Area of Science:

  • Medical Librarianship
  • Surgical Practice Management
  • Health Information Science

Background:

  • Upper extremity surgical and therapy practices require continuous learning and technological integration.
  • Clinicians often face time constraints due to information management and technology exploration.
  • The role of librarians in specialized medical settings is evolving beyond traditional support.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the advantages of embedding a librarian within an upper extremity surgical and therapy practice.
  • To demonstrate how a librarian can support clinicians in staying current with medical literature and technology.
  • To propose models for librarian service accessibility in private practice settings.

Main Methods:

  • An embedded librarian at the Indiana Hand to Shoulder Center provides services including literature reviews and Google Scholar Alerts.
  • The librarian introduces clinicians to emerging technologies like 3D printers and smartphone applications.
  • The study discusses remote access and shared librarian models for practices unable to employ a full-time librarian.

Main Results:

  • Librarian integration allows surgeons to dedicate more time to clinical and research activities.
  • Embedded librarians facilitate access to cutting-edge information and technological advancements.
  • Remote collaboration tools (Skype, FaceTime) and contracted services offer viable alternatives for librarian support.

Conclusions:

  • Embedding a librarian offers significant educational and research benefits to surgical practices.
  • Librarian support enhances a practice's ability to remain at the forefront of medical technology and knowledge.
  • Flexible service models can make specialized library support accessible to practices of all sizes.
