Summary
eHealth requires inter-professional competencies. Communication and leadership are key across all health professions, with fewer differences between physicians, nurses, and IT experts than between care specialists and executives.
Area of Science:
- Health Informatics
- Digital Health
- Inter-professional Education
Background:
- Electronic health (eHealth) systems are integral to modern healthcare, spanning the entire patient journey.
- The inter-professional nature of eHealth necessitates understanding shared competencies among diverse healthcare professionals.
Purpose of the Study:
- To identify core eHealth competencies at the intersection of various health professional groups.
- To analyze the perceived importance of specific eHealth competencies across different roles.
Main Methods:
- An international online survey was conducted with 718 experts.
- Experts rated the relevance of eHealth competencies for distinct professional roles.
Main Results:
- Communication and leadership were identified as crucial competencies for all professions, including non-executives.
- Minimal competency differences were observed between physicians and nurses, and among IT experts and between IT experts and executives.
- Significant competency variations emerged when comparing direct patient care specialists with executive roles.
Conclusions:
- Organizations developing educational recommendations should emphasize shared eHealth competencies.
- Highlighting commonalities in eHealth skills can foster better inter-professional collaboration.
- Further research can refine competency frameworks for specific healthcare roles in the digital age.

01:29Professional Values
10.7K
Nurses are responsible for caring for patients during birth, death, illness, and healing. Professional values guide the decisions and actions that nurses make in their careers. If nurses know the decisions and actions to take, providing patients with exceptional care is possible.
The values that are the foundation of the nursing profession are altruism, autonomy, human dignity, and social justice.
First, altruism refers to the concern for the welfare and well-being of others without personal...

Professional nurses are not limited to bedside care and are taking roles of greater responsibility. A nurse should have a knowledge-based practice, including personal, theoretical, procedural, cultural, and reflexive knowledge. Additionally, nurses must be competent in cognitive, technical, interpersonal, and ethical/legal skills. Some of the best attributes of successful nurses include the following:
Communication skills: These are critical characteristics, especially speaking and listening.

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...

02:34Competition
24.9K
When organisms require the same limited resources within an environment, they may have to compete for them. Competition is a net-negative interaction. Even if two competing individuals or populations do not interact directly, the overall fitness of both competitors is lowered as a result of not having full access to the limited resource.

02:16Measures of Central Tendency
21.2K
The "center" of a data set is also a way of describing location. The two most widely used measures of the "center" of the data are the mean (average) and the median. The words "mean" and "average" are often used interchangeably. The substitution of one word for the other is common practice. The technical term is "arithmetic mean" and "average" is technically a center location. However, in practice among non-statisticians,...

Persuasion is the process of changing our attitude toward something based on some kind of communication. Much of the persuasion we experience comes from outside forces. How do people convince others to change their attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors? What communications do you receive that attempt to persuade you to change your attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors?
