This study provides guidelines for creating high-quality Open Educational Resources (OERs) in medical education. It offers practical Do's, Don'ts, and Don't Knows to improve OER impact and quality for educators and learners.
Area of Science:
- Medical Education
- Open Educational Resources
Background:
- Growing global demand for Open Educational Resources (OERs) in medical education.
- Lack of uniform standards challenges OER creators.
- Need for practical guidance to improve OER impact and quality.
Purpose of the Study:
- To curate literature on producing OERs for medical education.
- To provide practical guidance on OER creation (Do's, Don'ts, Don't Knows).
- To improve the impact and quality of OERs in medical education.
Main Methods:
- Rapid literature review of OVID MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane Central.
- Keywords: "open educational resources" and "OER".
- Hand searching references and peer review for guideline development.
Main Results:
- Full text analysis of 81 eligible studies.
- Compilation of 15 guidelines (Do's, Don'ts, Don't Knows) with supporting evidence.
- Quantified evidentiary strength using a consensus process.
Conclusions:
- Open Educational Resources (OERs) enhance medical education for educators and learners.
- OERs expand teaching opportunities and promote medical education scholarship.
- Guidelines assist OER creators and identify areas for future research.

Legal Guidelines for Documentation
Guidelines for Writing Outcome
Patient outcomes reflect the patient's response to the goal rather than what the nurse aims to achieve. Terminology should be observable and measurable to avoid the reader's interpretation. The desired outcome should be realistic and achievable in the designated care timeframe. Expected outcomes should align with adjunctive therapies. The outcome should enhance care...
Guidelines for Nursing Documentation I
Factual:
The following points emphasize the significance of upholding accurate and unbiased documentation in healthcare.
Guidelines for Nursing Documentation II
Timely documentation is crucial to ensure continuity of care for patients. Any delays in recording or reporting medical information can result in medical errors and even adverse patient outcomes. From medication administration to diagnostic test results, every detail must be accurately and promptly documented to provide the best possible care for patients.
