Summary
Mobile IT solutions significantly improve clinical information logistics during ward rounds. Fostering a culture of innovation and involving end-users are key to increasing adoption rates for better patient care.
Area of Science:
- Health Informatics
- Information Logistics
- Organizational Behavior
Background:
- Ward rounds are crucial for inpatient care, requiring flexible bedside information solutions.
- Despite the need, mobile IT solutions show low adoption rates in healthcare settings.
Purpose of the Study:
- To examine how mobile IT solutions impact bedside clinical information logistics.
- To identify socio-organizational factors influencing the adoption of mobile IT in hospitals.
Main Methods:
- A survey was administered to 373 medical and nursing directors in German, Austrian, and Swiss hospitals.
- Variance-based Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) was employed for data analysis.
Main Results:
- Mobile IT adoption strongly correlates with improved clinical information logistics.
- Adoption is linked to an organizational culture that values innovation and end-user involvement.
Conclusions:
- Mobility should be recognized as integral to information logistics in healthcare.
- Promoting end-user participation and an innovative culture can enhance mobile IT adoption and information delivery.

Ecological Succession
21.6K
Ecological succession is influenced by the processes of facilitation, inhibition, and toleration. Facilitation occurs when early successional species create more favorable ecological conditions for subsequent species, such as enhanced nutrient, water, or light availability. In contrast, inhibition happens when early successional species create unfavorable ecological conditions for potential successive species, such as limiting resource availability. In some cases, later successional species...

Empirical Method to Interpret Standard Deviation
10.2K
The empirical rule, also known as the three-sigma rule, allows a statistician to interpret the standard deviation in a normally distributed dataset. The rule states that 68% of the data lies within one standard deviation from the mean, 95% lies within two standard deviations from the mean, and 99.7% lies within three standard deviations from the mean. Additionally, this rule is also called the 68-95-99.7 rule.
This rule is used widely in statistics to calculate the proportion of data values...

Kinetic Molecular Theory and Gas Laws Explain Properties of Gas Molecules
37.5K
The test of the kinetic molecular theory (KMT) and its postulates is its ability to explain and describe the behavior of a gas. The various gas laws (Boyle’s, Charles’s, Gay-Lussac’s, Avogadro’s, and Dalton’s laws) can be derived from the assumptions of the KMT, which have led chemists to believe that the assumptions of the theory accurately represent the properties of gas molecules.

Stereotype Content Model
15.5K
The Stereotype Content Model (SCM) was first proposed by Susan Fiske and her colleagues (Fiske, Cuddy, Glick & Xu, 2002; see also Fiske, 2012 and Fiske, 2017). The SCM specifies that when someone encounters a new group, they will stereotype them based on two metrics: warmth—or that group’s perceived intent, and how likely they are to provide help or inflict harm—and competence—or their ability to carry out that objective. Depending on the warmth-competence...

The Bohr Model
81.1K
Following the work of Ernest Rutherford and his colleagues in the early twentieth century, the picture of atoms consisting of tiny dense nuclei surrounded by lighter and even tinier electrons continually moving about the nucleus was well established. This picture was called the planetary model since it pictured the atom as a miniature “solar system” with the electrons orbiting the nucleus like planets orbiting the sun. The simplest atom is hydrogen, consisting of a single proton as the...
