This presentation will provide you with practical advice for compliance with privacy laws in BC. Answers to questions such as: What IS personal information? When do I need to give or get consent to collect, use or disclose personal information? What is a privacy breach? What are my rights and responsibilities under the Privacy Acts?Item Informatics and knowledge translation activities in the healthcare sector(InspireNet, 2013-11-20) Mallidou, AnastasiaKnowledge translation is the means for evidence-based practice in healthcare, which is the overarching goal for better quality of care and patient/client safety, for reducing expenses in the health system, and for enhancing patient, provider and system outcomes. Informatics is the essential resources for making research findings (an element/component of evidence) accessible to healthcare professionals and for supporting knowledge utilization activities at the point of care. The value of available evidence within the clinical practice environment is a fundamental tool for implementing evidence-based practice.Item Use of iPads to Assess Health-related Quality of Life: A Feasibility Study in Home Dialysis(InspireNet, 2014-03-19) Makaroff, Kara SchickGiven the need for integration of patient reported outcomes into research, electronic capture of patients’ reports of their health are important aspects of clinical research initiatives. In this presentation, I will discuss a pilot study undertaken to evaluate the feasibility of administering patients’ reports on their health-related quality of life using iPads in outpatient home dialysis clinics. Methodological challenges will be raised for further discussion.Item Usability of Health Information Systems - How Can We Make Systems More Usable?(InspireNet, 2014-04-16) Kushniruk, AndreGood usability of health information systems is critical for health information systems to be adopted and used efficiently. This presentation will describe methods for assessing the usability of information systems and for evaluating the impact of advanced health care information systems on reasoning and decision making. The discussion will draw on examples from the evaluation of a number of health applications, ranging from electronic health record systems to Web-based clinical guidelines. The approaches described will be considered along a continuum ranging from laboratory-based usability testing to simulations and naturalistic study of system use. An integrated framework will be discussed for conducting evaluations of information systems which borrows from advances a number of fields, including cognitive, information and computer science, as well as the emerging field of usability engineering. Application of video analysis for assessing human-computer interaction in health care settings will be illustrated along with recent work in developing methods for the “televaluation” of Web-based information resources. The focus of the research is on improving our understanding of the cognitive processes involved in using advanced technology in order to improve system usability and enhance patient and health care workers’ understanding and decision making. Implications will be discussed in the context of the iterative development of improved systems.Item Mobile Personal Health Records (mPHRS): What are they? What do they look like? What are their advantages and disadvantages? What studies are needed on them?(InspireNet, 2014-11-05) Monkman, HelenAs smartphones become ubiquitous, it is not surprising that they are being used for entering, storing, and accessing personal health information. This presentation will describe what is meant by the term mobile Personal Health Record (mPHR). Additionally, select examples of currently available mPHRs will be provided. Despite their deployment, adoption, and increasing popularity, there is a paucity of research on mPHRs. Some of the obstacles and promising possibilities of these new systems, as well as research topics that warrant further investigation with respect to mPHRs will be discussed.Item Telehealth Nursing: Application of Usability Methods to Maximize Quality Patient Outcomes(InspireNet, 2015-02-11) Tuden, DanicaTelehealth nursing is a unique area of nursing practice that has emerged in response to the development of new technologies as well as consumer demand for better access to health care services in the community. Telehealth nursing or telenursing, can be defined as the delivery, management and coordination of care and services provided to individuals via telecommunication technology within the domain of nursing (Arnaert & Macfarlane, 2011). Telehealth nursing is very distinct in how care is delivered in that telenurses are limited with respect to the quantity and quality of information they receive from callers in order to provide appropriate recommendations. Therefore, the health information systems that telenurses use to do their job appropriately need to be both useful and usable. The purpose of this presentation is to describe telehealth nursing and how usability engineering methodologies play a key role in ensuring that these systems meet the needs of telenurses to ensure quality patient outcomes.Item Health Information Systems Design for Collaborative Healthcare Delivery - “Collaboration Spaces”(InspireNet, 2015-02-18) Kuziemsky, CraigItem Teaching Health Information Science for Health Care Instructors(InspireNet, 2015-04-15) Fiore, PasqualeItem Evidence-based Heuristics for Evaluating Demands on eHealth Literacy and Usability in a Mobile Consumer Health Application(InspireNet, 2015-09-30) Monkman, HelenItem Nursing’s Voice in Healthcare IT Acquisition Decisions(InspireNet, 2015-10-14) McLean, AllenThe participation of senior nursing healthcare executives in the acquisition of electronic healthcare information systems is not well understood. This is an important issue because nurses make up the majority of care-providers within the Canadian healthcare system, and thus the majority of the information systems end-users. End-user involvement in the selection and evaluation of a healthcare information system is vital to implementation success; it is very important we understand the background knowledge and participation of the nursing leadership making these important decisions. Senior healthcare executives with a background in nursing from each of the Health Authorities across British Columbia were recruited to participate in an online survey questionnaire. An N=11 of senior executives were invited to participate, and a response rate of 82% was achieved. Among many interesting findings, the results showed a clear interest and enthusiasm from these nursing leaders in taking an active and enthusiastic role in key aspects of electronic healthcare information systems acquisition and upgrading projects.
