An Evaluation Of Hospital-Based Health Technology Assessment Processes In The United States., Scott Skinner
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
This research study explored the practices of hospital-based health technology assessment (HTA) in the U.S., as experienced by healthcare technology management (HTM) professionals. HTA can play an important role in helping to evaluate health technologies at both the macro (e.g., policy) level as well as at the micro (e.g., institutional) level of the public health ecosystem (C. S. Goodman, 2004). HTA seeks to broadly evaluate the effects, properties, and other impacts of various health technologies (C. S. Goodman, 2004). Common goals of HTA are to evaluate the safety, effectiveness, and cost-benefit of health technologies. A primarily phenomenological approach was used …

"What's App?" Utilizing Evidence Based Medicine Apps In The Clinical Setting, Kathryn C. O'Donovan
"What's App?" Utilizing Evidence Based Medicine Apps In The Clinical Setting, Kathryn C. O'Donovan
BU Well
The medical community has utilized evidence-based medicine, or EBM, in practice for decades, and healthcare personnel are used to the idea of utilizing research and statistics to determine the treatment of patients. However, as technology advances, the use of electronics and EBM apps has increased in the clinical setting. While there are advantages to clinicians having resources at their fingertips as they talk with patients, there are also hurdles that could harm or offend patients. So as healthcare inevitably becomes more and more electronic, can providers strike the balance needed to effectively use EBM apps in practice to provide optimum …

How We "Breathed Life" Into Problem-Based Learning Cases Using A Mobile Application, Michelle Mclean, Victoria Brazil, Patricia Johnson
How We "Breathed Life" Into Problem-Based Learning Cases Using A Mobile Application, Michelle Mclean, Victoria Brazil, Patricia Johnson
Patricia Johnson
Background: Problem-based learning (PBL) has been widely adopted in medical education. Learners become bored with paper based cases as they progress through their studies. Aim: To breathe life (i.e. develop virtual patients) into paper-based PBL cases. Methods: The ‘‘patients’’ in paper-based PBL cases in one Year 2 were transformed into virtual patients by simulated patients roleplaying and the videos and associated patient data uploaded to Bond’s Virtual Hospital, a mobile Application. In unsupervised ‘‘clinical teams’’, second-year students undertook ‘‘ward rounds’’ twice a week, prompted by a virtual consultant and registered nurse. Immediately following the ‘‘ward rounds’’, they met with a …

A Randomised Controlled Trial Of A Blended Learning Education Intervention For Teaching Evidence-Based Medicine, Dragan Ilic, Rusli Bin Nordin, Paul Glasziou, Julie Tilson, Elmer Villanueva
Paul Glasziou
Background: Few studies have been performed to inform how best to teach evidence-based medicine (EBM) to medical trainees. Current evidence can only conclude that any form of teaching increases EBM competency, but cannot distinguish which form of teaching is most effective at increasing student competency in EBM. This study compared the effectiveness of a blended learning (BL) versus didactic learning (DL) approach of teaching EBM to medical students with respect to competency, self-efficacy, attitudes and behaviour toward EBM. Methods: A mixed methods study consisting of a randomised controlled trial (RCT) and qualitative case study was performed with medical students undertaking …

Predictors Of Persistence And Resurgence: Evaluation Of A Behavioral Momentum-Based Approach, Mary M. Sweeney
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
Mary M. Sweeney, graduate student in the Experimental and Applied Psychological Sciences program at Utah State University, will complete this dissertation as part of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Psychology.
One approach to reducing a behavior with a history of reward is to remove the reward for the target behavior to be reduced and introduce reward for an alternative behavior. When alternative reward is removed, though, relapse termed resurgence can occur. The broad purpose of this dissertation is to examine the variables that contribute to the persistence and resurgence of a behavior. The results of …

Examining Universal Primary Healthcare Through Community-Based Initiatives, Donald E. Warden
Examining Universal Primary Healthcare Through Community-Based Initiatives, Donald E. Warden
Oglethorpe Journal of Undergraduate Research
This paper examines enacting community-based primary healthcare programs and initiatives. It looks at the weaknesses of past attempts, the successes of current attempts, and gives insight into ways everyday citizens can change the way the world does healthcare. There are social, economic, and political barriers as to why these programs are not enacted. Since 1978, Member states of the United Nations strive towards healthcare for all. The original 1978 Declaration of Alma-Ata sets the bar at achieving this goal by the year 2000. Now in the 21st century, the world still battles inadequate healthcare. Nations continue to strive towards …

A Model Of Clinical Problem-Based Learning For Clinical Attachments In Medicine, Elizabeth Farmer, P Mccrorie, Sandra Holmes, Derek Macallan, Andrew Kent
Elizabeth Farmer
CONTEXT Problem-based learning (PBL) has been widely adopted in medical curricula for early-years training, but its use during clinical attachments has not been extensively explored.OBJECTIVES This study aimed to develop and evaluate a new model, 'clinical problem-based learning' (CPBL), to promote learning skills, attitudes and knowledge during clinical attachments.METHODS The CPBL model takes the principles of PBL and applies them to learning during clinical attachments. Real patient encounters are guided by a list of broadly defined case types to ensure curriculum coverage. By discussing history taking and examination in the context of differential diagnosis and problem listing, students generate learning …

Faith-Based Substance Abuse Treatment: Is It Just About God? Exploring Treatment Providers' Attitudes Toward Spirituality, Forgiveness And Secular Components Of Treatment, Geoffrey Lyons, Frank Deane, Peter Kelly
Peter Kelly
Although spirituality and forgiveness components of substance abuse treatment programs ar'e viewed as important by faithbased substance abuse treatment providers researchers have not compared their relative importance to other treatment components. This study evaluated the perceived importance of spiritually and forgiveness-based treatment components in comparison to other secular psycho-educational components in faith-based treatment programs. A brief survey was completed by 99 Salvation Army drug and alcohol treatment providers employed within Australian residential rehabilitation programs. The survey examined the relative importance treatment providers' placed on spiritual and secular components of treatment. Attitudes towards spiritual components of treatment, such as Christian education …
