Language Barriers In Health Care, Lauren Houle
Language Barriers In Health Care, Lauren Houle
Senior Honors Projects
Language barriers in health care are a growing concern for patients and health care providers. According to the 2000 U. S. Census, there is an increasing number of people who spoke a language other than English at home. This number increased from 14 percent (31.8 million) in 1990 to 18 percent (47 million) in 2000 (Shin & Bruno, 2003). Studies have shown that patients with limited English proficiency have less access to care, poorer adherence to treatment regimens and consequently contribute to increased health disparities. This issue is of particular importance for nurses due to the intimate contact and need …

Reflecting On Our History: Digitizing Materials For Hospital Archives, Margot Malachowski Mls
All Scholarly Works
The Ithaka Report 2006 investigated trends in the valuation of library functions by faculty. Faculty placed high values on library functions as purchaser and archive even as the valuation of information gateway declined. This poster demonstrates an effort toward expanding the archive function of a hospital library. We will describe our pilot program to digitize historical documents and photographs.

Using Rasch Modeling To Investigate The Psychometric Properties Of The Osce, Carole Steketee, Elina Tor
Medical Conference Papers
Background
It is vital that undergraduate medical students demonstrate competency in clinical skills upon graduation. To confidently state that students are competent in these skills, medical schools must assess students using tools that provide an accurate measure of their abilities. As with many medical schools, the School of Medicine at the University of Notre Dame Australia uses the Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE). Research findings strongly support the OSCE as a reliable and valid measure of students’ clinical competence. However, traditional item analyses of OSCE papers were not providing the School with enough insight into how individual stations were performing …
